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.

The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights were influenced by Enlightenment ideals such as individual rights, social contract theory, and the separation of powers.
The document that protected the rights of English citizens and was the basis for the American Bill of Rights was the Bill of Rights.
The English Bill of Rights influenced the American colonies by establishing principles of governance that emphasized individual liberties and limited government power. It inspired colonial leaders to advocate for rights such as freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, and due process. These ideas were instrumental in shaping the framework of American democracy, ultimately leading to the inclusion of similar protections in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The document served as a catalyst for colonial resistance against perceived tyranny, fostering a spirit of independence.
