The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The features of these historical documents that appealed to the colonists were the emphasis they made about human natural rights, liberty, and respect for private property. These three important English documents -Magna Carta, The English Bill of Rights, and The Commentaries on the Laws of England- served as a direct influence to the founding fathers of the United States, and inspired them to write the Declaration of Independence, promulgated on July 4, 1776, and also the US Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, drafted by James Madison.
