The correct answer is A. Protection against unusual punishment and the right to trial by jury.
Explanation:
Both the US Bill of Rights and the English Bills of Rights guaranteed basic rights. The English Bill of Rights was approved in 1689, limited the power of monarchs, and provided citizens some protection; this included the right against unusual punishment, the right to be judged according to law, and the right to be represented.
On the other hand, the US Bill of Rights approved in 1789 defined government, and guaranteed rights to the citizens. This also included protection against unusual or cruel punishment and the right of a fair trial. Also, this document included other rights such as the right to bear arms and the protection against unfair seizures. Thus, the common rights in both documents are "Protection against unusual punishment and the right to trial by jury".

Prior to the Revolutionary War, the US experienced a colonial form of government, which differs from a Republic in several significant ways:
- A colony is ruled by a foreign power. In the case of the US, this power was England. A republic, on the other hand, is autonomous, and it forms its own government.
- A colony is usually ruled by a monarch (it is not a necessary requirement, but it has been so in practice), while republics elect their leader through voting.
- Republics tend to be democratic and participatory, with no inherited power positions.
- A republic has the power to make its own laws in terms of taxation, rights and duties, education, healthcare, etc. while the colony has to follow those of the mother country.
- Republics tend to have their own constitution.
