Question

BEST GETS BRIANLIEST

1.What did the colonist believe their rights were?
2.Where are these rights found?
3.What limits are there on these rights?

Answer 1

The colonist believed that they were no longer a part of England. They did not call themselves British. They did not think that taxes on their goods from England was fair because they lived across an ocean. Also, they did not believe that they should be watched over or told what to do. Their rights are found in The Declaration of Independence. Some limitations are you cant kill someone and get away with it, no bad mouthing the government, protests are accepted to a degree, religion is restricted in some places, and there are a few more.

Answer 2

The colonists believed they have certain rights including freedom of religion, press, and quartering of troops for just a few examples, as well as having the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These can all be found in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.  Some of these rights are a bit limited however, to ensure safety. For example, we can protest, but if we interfere with daily life like get in the way of traffic or cause damage, police have the right to arrest you. :D
