Question 10 • HCVS25-26 Government and Civics

Key privileges included in both the English Bill of Rights and the US Bill of Rights include

Answer
A
protection against unusual punishment and the right to trial by jury.
B
the rights to bear arms and to enact legislation after debate.
C
the rights to equal taxation and to trial by jury.
D
protection against unusual punishment and the right to suspend laws.

Explanation

Both bills of rights protect people from cruel or unusual punishment and preserve trial by jury. The English Bill of Rights prohibited cruel and unusual punishments, while the U.S. Bill of Rights includes that protection in the Eighth Amendment and jury-trial rights in the Sixth and Seventh Amendments. The right to suspend laws is not a shared individual privilege, and the other choices include rights that are not common to both.
