The U.S. Bill of Rights owes a debt to the Virg/inia Declaration of Rights (written by George Mason in 1776) and the English Bill of Rights (1689), as well as natural rights writings from the Age of Enlightenment and foundational English political texts like the Magna Carta (1215).
This is further explained below.
<h3>What is
the English Bill of
Rights?</h3>
Generally, Following the fall of King James II, William III and Mary II jointly ruled England and enacted the English Bill of Rights into law in 1689. Specific constitutional and civil rights were enumerated in the law, which finally granted Parliament control over the monarchy.
In conclusion, The Virg/inia Declaration of Rights written by George Mason in 1776, the English Bill of Rights written in 1689, works from the Age of Enlightenment pertaining to natural rights, and earlier English political documents such as the Magna Carta were all sources of inspiration for the United States Bill of Rights (1215).
