The main way that the English Bill of Rights created the foundations of democratic rule was by acknowledging basic human rights, such as the right to a speedy trial, and the right to face your accuser in court. The lords of the parliament wanted to ensure that their new monarchs would respect their subjects rights and liberties. The Bill of Rights stated that the people have certain inalienable rights. The people would have certain rights that could not be changed or taken away. And also restricted certain rights as well. Many of these rights are protected in the US Constitution, and are found in six of the amendments.
