Respuesta :

A) George Mason

Explanation:

  • On June 12, 1776, the Virginia Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Virginia Citizens, most of which were written by George Mason.
  • The Declaration linked ideas about citizens' natural rights with specific guarantees for their protection against abuse by the government.
  • The document contained the fundamental freedoms that the English had fought for since Magna Carta.
  • These rights included the right to a reasonable bail for parole, humane punishment, as well as a speedy trial with a verdict handed down by citizens to the defendant.
  • The Virginia Declaration provided for the organization of civilian paramilitary forces in place of the regular military, as well as freedom of the press and religion. That document was a model for the charter of rights in other states and later for the federal charter of rights.
