Where do you think the American Bill of Rights came from?
All modern American law can draw its roots from English Common Law. We may not wear wigs in court, but concepts like the jury trial came from England.
"The Bill of Rights. It is one of the basic documents of English constitutional law, alongside Magna Carta, the Act of Settlement and the Parliament Acts. It also forms part of the law of some other Commonwealth nations, such as New Zealand. A separate but similar document applies in Scotland: the Claim of Right.
The Bill of Rights 1689 is largely a statement of certain positive rights that its authors considered that citizens and/or residents of a free and democratic society ought to have. It asserts the Subject's right to petition the Monarch and the Subject's right to bear arms for defence. It also sets out (or in the view of its writers, restates) certain constitutional requirements where the actions of the Crown require the consent of the governed as represented in Parliament. In this respect, it differs from other "bills of rights," including the United States Bill of Rights, though many elements of the first eight amendments to the U.S. Constitution echo its contents. This is in part due to the uncodified constitutional traditions of the UK, whereby the English Bill of Rights forms a list of rights in respect of the people as represented in Parliament, in addition to those rights already provided for individuals as set out in Magna Carta."

with ease positioned, NO. She is out of her mind! She is the two for or in opposition to licenses for unlawful immigrants, make a stand and allow each guy or woman debate jointly along with her in the event that they do no longer agree. She is wishy washy and that's how she will possibly be in place of job. As for the pilots licenses, she is incorrect. Why can we could desire to enable illegals, (now no longer all illegals are Mexican, via technique of the via) the probability to make the main of airplanes as bombs legally?! upward thrust up united statesa.!

It was after Jacques II abdication and it was an enumeration of political liberties that the new king Guillaume d'Orange accepted to respect.
