<span>Thinking back, the narrator recalls, “Now and then we would see her in one of the downstairs windows.” Likely, it only occurred to the narrator after learning about Homer Barron that Miss Emily was always in a downstairs window. In fact, earlier in the story, the narrator only says that “a window that had been dark was lighted and Miss Emily sat in it” when the men of the won sprinkled lime around her house to kill the offensive smell that emanated from it. He does not specify where in her house the window was.

Name two similarities and two difference between the English Bill of Rights and the US Bill of Rights.
vichka [17]

Answer:

Similarities

1. Both documents advocated for the rights and liberty of the citizens.

2. Both documents prevented autocratic rule by ensuring the proper representation of the people.

Differences

1. The English Bill of Rights was borne out of political tensions while the US Bill of Rights was an amendment to the constitution.

2. They both differed in content. The English Bill of Rights contained information on the rights of citizens, reasons while the then Monarchs were rightful successors to the throne, and details of the ills committed by King James. The US Bill of Rights simply amended the constitution.

Explanation:

The English Bill of Rights was signed into law in the year 1689 by William III and Mary II in response to the political and religious tensions happening at the time. This Bill of Rights gave powers to the Parliament and made them a source that must be consulted before critical decisions were made by the Monarchs. It also outlined the rights of citizens.

The US Bill of Rights received its blueprint from the English Bill of Rights. It was established in 1789 as 12 amendments to the constitution. It outlined the rights of the United States citizens, one of which was the Freedom of Speech.
