Just to be accurate, the "Bill of Rights" are the first ten amendments to the US constitution. To pick the most important one is a tough question. Your environment and background would play an important role in that choice. Guess I'll go out on a limb and say the first:\n\nFreedom of speech, press, religion, peaceable assembly, and to petition the government. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. \n\nI mean, if it wasnt for that "right", we might not be able to have this forum.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Bill_of_Rights#The_Amendments

Basically, they just concern different things. It sets up the system of the government, the governor, legislature, etc. and also contains a lot of general laws, for instance regarding marriage, eminent domain, and such. As for the rights guranteed in the constitution, Georgia's is generally more protective, but its bill of rights really covers the same ground as the federal bill of rights.

I assume you are asking because it relates to some homework you are working on, so I'm only going to give a brief overview. You can look up the details.\n\nThe due process clause of the fourteenth amendment along with equal protection clause serves to incorporate most of the federal notions and application of the bill of rights to the states. These notions are incorporated because they are considered fundamental to the American system of justice. \n\nNot all of the bill of rights are incorporated to the states. For example, the grand jury requirement is not enforced upon the states nor the bail requirement of the eighth amendment. There are others. You can find them by searching the capsule summaries of constitutional law at lexisnexis.com. Or by searching for "incorporation" and the "fourteenth amendment" in your search engine of choice. \n\nThe federal definition of the right, when incorporated to the states, is only the floor level the state must guarantee its citizens. If it chooses the state my extend greater protection then afforded by the federal definition, so long as it doesn't violate any other right.\n\nAs a side note there is a due process clause in the language of the 5th amendment as well. The two due process clauses function is slightly different ways and are a large part of any first year law school course on criminal procedure/bill of rights.\n\nFor specific case examples see the above sources.

The Bill of Rights was demanded by critics of the Constitution (the Anti-Federalists), who noted that the Constitution did not prevent the federal government from restricting certain rights. The Bill of Rights was largely meant to prevent the very abuses that caused the Revolutionary War, and/or abuses that had traditionally been solved by other facets of English Common Law.\n\nIn essence, the Bill of Rights sets up certain parts of an individual's life that government may not interfere with or directly regulate. For the most part, these protections are only between the Federal government and the individual, until the 14th Amendment was largely interpreted to force the States to also hold to the Bill of Rights as well.
