    Stated In Document 2 “ The constitution makers of 1776 and 1777 had to refer to basic principles partly because they lacked exact models to guide them .. The closest thing to a working model was, ironically, the British government.” After all the colonies only knew about and experienced one government at the time . They used this to there advantage playing off british ideas to create new ones that benefitted them and reflect their own ideas. This indirectly lead to the separation of powers, where no one party / power can outweigh the next .This protects our rights as citizens as now no one can abuse their power to violate them…

    “The English common law runs all the way back to Anglo-Saxon days in England, but it did not begin to take shape until late in the twelfth century during the reign of Henry II. It passed into North America with the coming of the first English settlers to the New World, and over the centuries was incorporated into the American system of laws by legislation and judicial decisions.” Two of the most popular documents that prove the influence of the English are the Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights. “What is surprising, and counter to the usual portrayal that there is a strong and direct reliance of the U.S. Bill of Rights on the English heritage, is that only 9 out of the 26 rights in the U.S. Bill of Rights can be traced back to the Magna Carta! Similarly, 7 can be traced to the English Petition of Rights, and 6 to the English Bill of Rights.” Probably the most famous being the right of due process and trial by…

    With the case getting major attention and making it very historical, it bought the Judicial Branch of the legislature on an all the more even power premise with the Legislative and Executive Branches. The Founding fathers expected the braches of government to go about as balanced governance on one another. In spite of the fact that the quick impact of the choice was to deny energy to the court, its long-run impact has been to expand the Court’s energy by building up the tenet that it is insistently the area and obligation of the legal division to say what the law is. Since this case, the Supreme Court has been the last authority of the legality…

    The Magna Carta or “The Great Charter” was created by Great Britain in 1215. It consisted of 63 clauses that dealt with the rights, customs, and administration of justice. It was put in place because of King John’s abuse of his people. He created chaos and did inhumane things to his people against the justice system. Only 3 of the original 63 clauses still remain which consist of “the clause confirming the privileges of the city of London and other towns; and the most famous clause of all which states that no free man shall be imprisoned, dispossessed, outlawed or exiled without the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land” (Magna Carta 2008) The others have been replaced by modern laws and the original clauses were put in place so that limits were set on royalty and so that the King adhered to the law just like the rest of the people in Great Britain. This document has an impact on the evolution of the United States Constitution because…

    “The English Bill of Rights is an act that the Parliament of England passed on December 16, 1689. The Bill creates separation of powers, limits the powers of the king and queen, enhances the democratic election and bolsters freedom of speech” (Walker 1). The government no longer had the consent of the people. English Bill of Rights was not so much for the commoner as it was for Parliament, and rules that the Monarch would have to follow. As a matter of fact, the only real similarity was the provision against cruel and unusual punishment for prisoners. However, just like our Bill of Rights, the English Bill of Rights was heavily influenced by John Locke and other libertarians of his time.…

    Laws and Taxes were passed impacting the daily lives of the colonists without any input from the colonists. But to be fair, kings and monarchs at that time ruled by their judgement and not too many others had a real say in the matter. In addition, other British colonies did not have representation within Parliament so why would the American colonies have representation – Britain did provide the initial means and opportunity for the colonists in America. However, by the late 1600’s and early 1700’s England did have another governing body, Parliament and in 1689 the English Bill of Rights were enacted. The English Bill of Rights limited the king’s power plus providing certain rights to Parliament and English citizens. Parliament had the right to regular free speech and free elections and that citizens had rights that the government must respect. The English Bill of Rights in conjunction with ideas and philosophies of the Enlightment thinkers fueled the Founding Fathers and their rebellion against Britain. The Founding Father must have asked themselves “do we have the rights granted by the English Bill of Rights?” The Enlightment provided such interesting ideas as people are born with “Natural Right”. John Locke believed that people were born with the rights of life, liberty, and property. Rousseau stated that a government receives its power from its people.…

    The Bill of Rights: It was very important measure taken by the parliament which limited the royal power and also established supremacy of the parliament. The bill was passed in February, 1689. It enumerates the act of James II stating that he abdicated from the power by himself. It reduced the power of the king and made the king bound to take into account the consent of the parliament. The king could not suspend or create laws without the allowance of parliament. He could not raise taxes by royal prerogative and he was forbidden to keep standing army in peace.…

    The English Bill of Rights precedent for other governments led the idea of unalienable rights to become a hot topic. Citizens under the French and British monarchies believed that “The promise of those rights can be denied, suppressed, or just remain unfilled, but it does not die (Hunt, 175).” Therefore, our rights still exist even if our government suppresses them. Those rights will always be there no matter how much the government tries to belittle them. The uprising of peoples’ belief in their own rights spurred the creation of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.…

    During the American Revolution, the colonists were fighting for independence from the British because they felt that their “natural rights” were being violated through the numerous amounts of acts passed by parliament. The idea of “Natural rights” came from John Locke, an enlightenment thinker, who stated that everyone is born with these rights and born with a blank slate which is filled with knowledge from a person’s environment. Colonists took Locke’s idea as a reason to fight against England and eventually using his ideas to improve the lives of women and slaves from 1776-1800.…
