Everyone has fundamental rights. This means that the lives of all people are built on these rights. These two documents inform the fundamental rights of each person that must be protected by the government through laws. Washington's Declaration of Rights was created to give limits to the government. The US Bill of Rights was created to empower the government to protect the freedom of the people. The two documents are symbols that all people are equal in the eyes of the law.
