Are you saying that the first 10 amendments to the Constitution are not the Bill of Rights?

That is not what I said. Simply put- here was your argument- "The first 10 amendments are a part of the Constitution. Therefore, any part of the Constitution is a part of the 10 amendments." That is a fallacious argument. It is tantamount to saying "All A's are B's, therefore all B's are A's". Or, with another substitute: "All dogs are animals, therefore all animals are dogs". It's just does not follow logically.
