A 'developed' society has a number of key characteristics which are either not present in a developing society or are still in their infancy. These include:
- Free and Fair elections and a strong democratic process
- Freedom of Speech and a fair and open media
- Equal human rights for all citizens regardless of their faith, gender, caster or creed
- A sophisticated education system that provides basic education for all citizens
- A post-agrarian society where urbanization has taken place and most people do not rely on primary agriculture for a living
- A middle or high income society where the basic needs of food, shelter, clothing and security are available to most citizens.

Some similarities between the US Bill of Rights and the English Bill of Rights are that both were written to amend constitutions and that both were written after a revolution against a monarch. A difference between them is that the US Bill of Rights focuses only on civil liberties while the English Bill of Rights also addresses governmental matters.
