| | Bill of Rights 1689 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Bill of Rights 1689 is not a bill of rights, in the sense of a statement of certain rights that citizens and/or residents of a free and democratic society have (or ought to have), but rather addresses only the rights of Parliamentarians sitting in Parliament as against the Crown. | | | The Bill of Rights 1689 is a predecessor of the United States Constitution, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights. | | | The Declaration of Right was later embodied in an Act of Parliament, now known as the Bill of Rights, on 16 December 1689. |

| | United States Bill of Rights - Wikipedia |
| | The Bill of Rights is the name given to the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. | | | It had been decided earlier that the Bill of Rights would be added to the Constitution as amendments (the list of rights was not included in the text of the Constitution because it was feared that changing the document's text would necessitate the rather painful process of re-ratifying the Constitution). | | | The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. |

| | The English constitution was formed by the common law and it continues to move with it; and, the common law was allowed to grow and flourish, because of the English constitution. | | | It reiterated two rights which are the bastions against a tyrannic regime: the right to bear arms and the right to bring one's grievance before a court of law (right to petition). | | | The English common law and the English constitution, if it cannot be said they are one and the same, are inextricably linked to one another. |

| | The United States Supreme Court is entrusted with the power to void acts of Congress which it finds to be in conflict with the Constitution or specifically with the Bill of Rights when the constitutionality of the acts arises in litigation. | | | The Bill of Rights draws influence and inspiration from the Magna Carta (1215), the English Bill of Rights (1689), and various later efforts in England and America to expand fundamental rights. | | | See the organization's feature In the Courts which highlights current Supreme Court cases which involve rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights. |

| | EUREALIST: Bill of Rights |
| | The practice and right of Habeas Corpus was settled practice and law as far back as Magna Carta 1215 and was thus a fundamental part of the unwritten common 'law of the land' and was expressly recognized by Magna Carta. | | | One such law is the Bill of Rights 1688/9 it is a Constitutional statute it is not an ordinary law, to change or repeal a Constitutional statute you must actually put before parliament an act specifically with the intention of changing the Statute. | | | The Bill of rights to date has not been changed it has been amended but those amendments did not disturb the basic rights within the Bill of Rights, the first amendment was the Act of settlement 1701 which was legislation governing the succession to the English Crown. |

| | But after the fourteenth Amendment was ratified in 1868, the Supreme Court began applying the provisions of the Bill of Rights — one by one — to the states. | | | Congress submitted a bill of rights with 12 amendments to the states for ratification in September 1789. | | | This satisfied the requirement of approval by three-fourths of the states, and the Bill of Rights became part of the law of the land. |

| | Bill Of Rights |
| | The term is also applied to the English Bill of Rights of 1689 and the Canadian Bill of Rights of 1960, and to similar guarantees in the constitutions of the American states. | | | The distinctive feature of the provisions in American bills of rights is that they are enforced by the courts; statutes and other governmental acts that conflict with them may be ruled void if their constitutionality is appropriately challenged. | | | Elimination of that amendment made the Bill of Rights as adopted applicable only to the federal government; its prohibitions did not impose limitations on the states. |

Rutland, The Birth of the Bill of Rights, 1776-1791 (1955). | | | In response to arbitrary actions of Charles I, Parliament in 1628 adopted the Petition of Right, condemning unlawful imprisonments and also providing that there should be no tax "without common consent of parliament." In 1689, capping the Glorious Revolution (which placed William and Mary on the throne), Parliament adopted the Bill of Rights. |

| | But the militant and aggressive Protestantism of the English Parliament would have no Catholic in any office, civil or military, and none in the corporations; and Charles was too politic to strain unduly the allegiance of these intolerant legislators. | | | Catholics were no longer to be summoned to take the Oath of Supremacy, or to be removed from London; the legislation of George I, requiring them to register their estates and wills, was absolutely repealed; while the professions of counsellor and barrister at law, attorney, solicitor, and notary were opened to them. | | | The Catholics and Dissenters, so long divided by religious antagonism, were coming together, and if they made a united demand for equal rights for all Irishmen, without distinction of creed, the ascendency of the Episcopalian Protestants, who were but a tenth of the population, must necessarily disappear. |
