How is the US Constitution's Bill of Rights and the English Bill of Rights the same?
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. I have listed them below.
The Right of Petition.
An independent Judiciary, ( The Sovereign was forbidden to establish his/her own courts or to act as a judge)
Freedom from taxation by Royal prerogative, without the express permission of Parliament,
Freedom from a peace time standing army,
Freedom to bear arms,
Freedom to elect Members of Parliament,
Freedom of Speech in Parliament,
Freedom from cruel and unusual punishments
Freedom from fines and forfeitures without trial.

Why did the English colonist believe they could have the same rights as English citizens?
The English colonists believed they could have the same rights as English citizens because they considered themselves to be English subjects.

They also saw themselves as participating in the English legal and political system and expected to be treated accordingly.
