| The Glorious Revolution in British history had produced the English Bill of Rights in 1689 and the Act of Settlement in 1701. |
|
| The two documents that most directly influenced the Bill of Rights were the English Bill of Rights and the Virginia Declaration of Rights. |
|
| Keep in mind that a great deal of our Constitution is derived from the English Bill of Rights and the common law. |
|
| The English Bill of Rights does not provide for freedom of religion, nor does it guarantee freedom of the press or freedom of speech outside Parliament. |
|
| The English Bill of Rights of 1689 had only proclaimed the rights of Englishmen. |
|
| As for torture, we can go all the way back to the English Bill of Rights in 1689 to find that civilization had evolved enough to outlaw cruel and unusual punishment. |
|
| The English Bill of Rights, having no constitutional status, is ineffective to control Acts of Parliament which might infringe on the rights enumerated. |
