The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, The Bill of Rights
English bill of rights, the enlightenment period of the 1700's, the mayflower compact, british rule.
The ideas in the Magna Carta, the English Bill of Rights and Locke's Treatise may have come from the 17th and 18th century European Enlightenment.
The Declaration of Independence (1776) draws heavily on Enlightenment ideas by stating that all individuals have natural rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The United States Constitution (1787) reflects Enlightenment principles by establishing a system of government with checks and balances and separation of powers. The Bill of Rights (1791) further incorporates Enlightenment ideas by protecting individual freedoms such as freedom of speech, religion, and the right to a fair trial.
English Bill of Rights and Magna Carta gave them inspiration. Ideas from the enlightenment also influenced them. English philosopher John Locke had thoughts the government had a duty to guard people's rights.
One of the ideas the Americans wanted in their government that the English had in their Bill of Rights was the freedom of speech. They also wanted the right to bear arms and the right for a person to be presumed innocent until found guilty.
The Bill of Rights was influenced by the enlightenment with its emphasis on natural rights. Based on the ideas of Locke, men are by nature free and equal and they are born with certain inalienable rights. The Anti Federalists sought the inclusion of the Bill of Rights to protect these rights.
