Question

Which provision in the United States Constitution was originally found in the English Bill of Rights?

Answer 1

Answer:

The England Bill of Rights of 1689 contains many rights that were later included in the First Amendment, such as the right to petition and freedom of expression and debate.

On the other hand, the Bill of Rights of the United States were the ten amendments added to the Constitution in 1791, just as the proponents of the Constitution had promised opponents during the debates of 1788. The English Bill of Rights of 1689 was a inspiration for the Bill of Rights of the United States. For example, both required jury trials, contain a right to bear arms, and prohibit excessive bail as well as "cruel and unusual punishments"

Answer 2

The Freedom from cruel and unusual punishment provision in the US Constitution was originally found in the English Bill of Rights.
