What are the differences between the American Bill of Rights and the English Bill of Rights?
The English Bill of Rights (1689), one of the fundamental documents of English constitutional law, differed substantially in form and intent from the American Bill of Rights, because it was intended to address the rights of citizens as represented by Parliament against the Crown. However, some of its basic tenets are adopted and extended to the general public by the U.S. Bill of Rights, including
- the right of petition
- an independent judiciary (the Sovereign was forbidden to establish his own courts or to act as a judge himself),
- freedom from taxation by royal (executive) prerogative, without agreement by Parliament (legislators),
- freedom from a peacetime standing army,
- freedom [for Protestants] to bear arms for self-defence,
- freedom to elect members of Parliament without interference from the Sovereign,
- freedom of speech in Parliament,
- freedom from cruel and unusual punishments and excessive bail, and
- freedom from fines and forfeitures without trial.
