Answer 2

Answer:

Magna Carta and The English Bill of rights, are the correct answer.

Explanation:

Magna Carta and English bills of rights both influenced the colonialists. Nine of the twenty-six provisions of Bill of Rights incorporated into the US Bill of Rights. Although Magna Carta does not call for the religious freedom or freedom of the press while the US constitution presupposes the abolition of Feudalism and monarchy. The English bill of rights also inspired the early colonialists as most of them were aware of it and put into place a constitutional form of government in which the rights and liberties of the people were protected. The US constitution safeguards the rights and liberty of people.
