C) Individual States
A guiding principle of the Articles was to preserve the independence of the states. The Articles created a weak central government, therefore they only received the powers which previous colonies had recognized as belonging to the parliament.
Hope this helps :)
The biggest influence from the English Bill of Rights were:
1. The Limited Power of the Government
2. Free Speech
The United States Bill of Rights, Constitution and numerous other legislations have been directly influnced by the original English Bill of Rights of 1689.
To this day, many politicians, judges and law markers refernece the document due to its huge impact on the world.
The idea of Free Speech is fundamental to modern western countries and gave rise to the 'power' of the individual and their say on a national level.
