The Massachusetts Body of Liberties listed many rights that were granted to the people living in the colony of Massachusetts. This was similar to the Bill of Rights that was added to the U.S. Constitution. Among the rights listed in the Massachusetts Body of Liberties were limited religious freedom and equal protection of the laws for landowners. It also banned punishments that were thought to be "inhumane, Barbarous or cruel."
