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.

Habeas Corpus
- 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
