    One of the rights was self Incrimination,which meant your own words can't be against you in court, a right to a Fair Bail, which meant that they couldn't be charged so much money for bail, Trail By Jury, Habeas Corpus, and No torture.

    - it gives us a right so that we can know what we were convicted of.

    Bail
    - it allows people to pay their jail sentence until the day of their trial

    Self Incrimination
    -your own words cant be used against you

    No Torture
    - they cant torture you in jail or make you say something that isn't true
