Influenced the US government
By the time the first colonists reached North America, the idea the government was not all-powerful had become an accepted part of the English system of government.
Magna Carta was the first idea this. It established limited government and this document provided protection against unjust punishment and against the loss of life, liberty, and property, except according to law.
As colonies grew, they relied more and more on their own government to make local laws.
By 1670s there were three types of colonies in America- charter, proprietary, and royal colonies.

Written by parliament, it specified rights for the people that the monarch accepted as a condition of the rule over England, although they were given a multitude of civil and political rights, including free speech, they still limited non-protestant worship to a degree. These rights set the foundation for the constitution, the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th amendment. Not only did it further the rights and the development of rights, but it also set the precedent for a new country like the U.S.In making its own bill of rights, which then influenced the basic amendments that are guaranteed for every person in America. The 1689 English Bill of Rights was a British Law, passed by the Parliament of Great Britain in 1689 that declared the rights and liberties of the people and settling the succession in William III and Mary II following the Glorious Revolution of 1688 when James II was deposed. So now the new king pretty much had to abide by their demands or else he would suffer the same fate. The 1689 English Bill of Rights had a massive influence on the colonies in North America and the Constitution of the United States, as stated above. It established a constitutional monarchy in England (a monarchy but their power is limited by a constitution) In fact, it includes a series of misdeeds that parliament had committed on them and their populace, just like the Declaration of Independence, an American document. It limited the power of the king, decided rule of law and the steps that should be taken for due process of law, and prohibited the king from taking taxes and property without approval of the great council. Many of these are common points found not only in this document, but also the documents that govern America, for they both guarantee rights and limit the powers ofthe governing
