Answer:

The Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights affected the colonial government by:

Magna Carta- influenced many other documents for rights; limited powers of king and over time the rights were granted to English people, not just noblemen and freemen

English Bill of Rights- the government was to be based on the laws of Parliament, not the desires of the king; later help create salutary neglect-a hands-off policy that lead the colonists to act on their own

They inspired the English colonists to create the Constitution.
