King John of England was forced to sign the Magna Carta at Runnymede on 15 June 1215. The Magna Carta, also known as The Great Charter, required that the King proclaim certain liberties, and accept that he was not above the law like anyone else. So the Magna Carta helped establish rights and limited government/monarchy.
The first step to freedom was in 1215 when King John signed the Magna Carta, saying he wasn't above the law and that he had to follow the laws, too. The English also gained the rights to elect representatives and have protection.

It was not the Englishmen, but the American colonists. The Bill of Rights was amended into the Constitution to give every American basic civil rights.
The American colonists were entitled to the rights of englishmen because they were an English colony. The abridgment of those rights was the cause of the revolutionary war.
