■The Declaration has no legal power what so ever in the United States, while the Constitution is the foundation of all legal power in the United States. 

■Even the tone of the documents have clear differences. The Declaration is far shorter and is a passionate document, using high language to describe the rights of man and how King George III of England had violated these rights. The Declaration is an ideological and philosophical document containing what the signatories felt the powers of government should be. It contained strong religious and spiritual symbolism, though not necessarily pertaining to any one faith. 

■The Constitution is a much "drier" document, outlining in plain English (from a legal standpoint) what the setup and powers of the government were. In keeping with the ideals added by the Bill of Rights, all religious references were removed from the Constitution [compare to the famous beginning of the Declaration, "...that all men are created equal, and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights..."]

-The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America was the document in which the Thirteen Colonies declared independence from Great Britain. The text, which also contained the justifications for the act, was ratified by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, at the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia.

The Declaration of Independence doesn't guarantee any right to American citizens as individuals but it states the causes of the struggle for independence of the country as a whole.

-The United States Bill of Rights is the name by which the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution are known. They were introduced by James Madison to the First United States Congress in 1789 as a series of articles and came into force on December 15, 1791, when it had been ratified by three quarters of the states.

The Bill of Rights guarantees a series of rights for American citizens, giving those rights constitutional protection.
