Another VERY important foundation to this Declaration is the English Bill of Rights of 1689 (Parliament's justification of the Glorious Revolution, whose form and contents influenced MANY political documents of the American Revolutionary era, including
the Declarations of Rights of the Stamp Act Congress (1765) (also contains list of grievances - http://www.constitution.org/bcp/dor_sac.htm
Declarations of Rights & Grievances
various state constitutions (good key example = Virginia)
and finally the Declaration of Independence).
