The English Bill of Rights
False.
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.

The English Bill of Rights, enacted in 1689, expanded the rights of common Englishmen by establishing clear limits on the powers of the monarchy and affirming the supremacy of Parliament. It secured essential civil liberties, such as the right to free elections and the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment. By guaranteeing rights like the freedom of speech within Parliament and protecting individuals from arbitrary imprisonment, it laid the groundwork for modern democratic principles and reinforced the idea that the government must be accountable to the people.
The Charter of the VA Company in London was the founding document that guaranteed the rights of Englishmen to the colonists. It also established the House of Burgesses.
the magna carta
The four traditional rights of Englishmen typically include the right to personal liberty, the right to property, the right to trial by jury, and the right to be free from arbitrary punishment. These rights emerged from historical legal documents such as the Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights, forming the foundation for modern democratic principles. They emphasize individual freedoms and limitations on government power, reflecting the rule of law in English society.
