C. Protection from cruel and unusual punishment

The English Bill of Rights established a series of measure to the next British ruler. The charter limited the powers of the King and Queen to the law, gave more power to the Parliament in the reign's decision, and guaranteed several of people individual rights from the power of the crown, including the right to be protected from cruel and unusual punishment and excessive bail.

This clause inspired the creation of the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which states the following:

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
