The English Bill of Rights influenced the American colonies by

Answer
A
establishing three separate branches of government.
B
providing a model of representative government.
C
improving lives through art, philosophy, and politics.
D
giving back the original rights of the colonies.

Explanation

The English Bill of Rights of 1689 limited the monarch’s power and affirmed the role of Parliament, whose members represented the people. The colonies drew on this example of representative government when developing their own political institutions. It did not establish three separate branches of government, so D, “providing a model of representative government,” is correct.
