B. English government delineated the principles of freedom and the Americans adopted some of the British laws on freedom.

C. Ideas of Locke on natural rights and Montesquieu on constitutionalism influenced most of the American politicians.

Answer 2

It's NOT for homework? You're just curious, huh? How odd that your question is exactly the kind of thing one has to study for on the first exam in American Government 101.

Answer 3

a.) Sytem of Jurisprudence, Gov't organization
b.) Parliamentary procedures

c.) natural law/rights.
the idea of inalienable rights include "life, liberty, and the pursuit of property" (which is the original concept before adoption of 'happiness')

Of course, this may be considered one of the fundamental premises behind capitalism as an economic system. Just think of the system of Juriprudence where there are prohibitions brought against a person who deprives another of life, liberty, or property. Examples: murder, torts, privacy violation, defamation of character (depriving person of proprietary interest of their good name), intellectual/creative license, and more.
