- They could not be put on trial based on an official's word, without witnesses

How did the British Bill of Rights influence colonists to break away from England?
The British Bill of Rights of 1689 established principles like limited government, individual rights, and parliamentary sovereignty, which resonated with American colonists. As they faced increasing taxation and restrictions from England, many colonists felt their rights were being violated, drawing parallels to the protections outlined in the Bill of Rights. This sense of betrayal fueled the desire for self-governance and ultimately contributed to the revolutionary sentiment that led to the break from England. The Bill of Rights thus served as both a philosophical foundation and a rallying cry for the colonists seeking independence.

Why was there such a disconnect between the colonists and their mother land England?
The disconnect between the American colonists and England stemmed from a combination of growing economic autonomy, differing political ideals, and cultural divergence. As colonists developed their own identities and self-governance, they increasingly resented British taxation and control without representation. Additionally, the Enlightenment ideals of liberty and individual rights gained traction among colonists, further fueling their desire for independence. This divergence ultimately led to escalating tensions and the push for separation from British rule.
