Answer:
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
In colonial American times, previous years of the beginning of the Revolutionary War of Independence, Americans were basically divided into two groups: Patriots and Loyalists.

The English also have a document called a Bill of Rights, mainly the work of the English Parliament but associated with “The Glorious Revolution” in 1688, when Prince William and Queen Mary succeeded to the throne on the abdication of King James II.
While the Constitution prohibited test oaths requiring individuals to affirm religious beliefs, and the First Amendment sought to disestablish all national religions, the English Bill of Rights favored Protestants and excluded “Papists” from serving as monarchs or as members of Parliament.
