Explanation:

Although this is an accurate definition of what the bill of rights is, such quote is not from the amendments but from Thomas Jefferson, one of the Founding Fathers, who uttered them in the Philadelphia Convention, on December 20, 1787.

On the other hand, the other options are all part of the bill of rights. Option 1 is from the Tenth Amendment, option 2 is from the Eighth Amendment and option 3 is from the First Amendment.
