Explanation

The English Bill of Rights protected the right to petition the monarch and freedom of speech in Parliament, ideas reflected in the First Amendment’s protections for petition and speech. It also prohibited excessive bail and cruel and unusual punishments, which are reflected in the Eighth Amendment. The other choices concern quartering soldiers, reserved state powers, and voting rights for women, which are not guarantees in the English Bill of Rights.
