Hvad er forskellen mellem rettighedsregningen og den engelske rettighedsregning?
Bill of Rights 1689
Bill of Rights, også kendt som den engelske Bill of Rights, er en lov fra det engelske parlament, der fastsætter visse grundlæggende borgerrettigheder og præciserer, hvem der er den næste, der arver kronen. Den modtog kongelig godkendelse den 16. december 1689 og er en omformulering i lovform af den erklæring om rettigheder, som konventets parlament forelagde William III og Mary II i februar 1689, hvori de blev opfordret til at blive Englands fælles suveræne. Bill of Rights fastsætter grænser for monarkens beføjelser og fastlægger parlamentets rettigheder, herunder kravet om regelmæssige parlamenter, frie valg og ytringsfrihed i parlamentet. Den fastsætter visse rettigheder for enkeltpersoner, herunder forbuddet mod grusomme og usædvanlige straffe, og genindfører protestanternes ret til at have våben til deres forsvar inden for retsstaten. Desuden beskrev og fordømte Bill of Rights flere af James II af Englands ugerninger.

The Bill of Rights, also known as the English Bill of Rights, is an Act of the Parliament of England that sets out certain basic civil rights and clarifies who would be next to inherit the Crown. It received the Royal Assent on 16 December 1689 and is a restatement in statutory form of the Declaration of Right presented by the Convention Parliament to William III and Mary II in February 1689, inviting them to become joint sovereigns of England. The Bill of Rights lays down limits on the powers of the monarch and sets out the rights of Parliament, including the requirement for regular parliaments, free elections, and freedom of speech in Parliament. It sets out certain rights of individuals including the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment and reestablished the right of Protestants to have arms for their defence within the rule of law. Furthermore, the Bill of Rights described and condemned several misdeeds of James II of England.
