	Welcome to The American Presidency
		In Great Britain, for example, many of the rights and liberties safeguarding the citizens are not specified in the Bill of Rights of 1689 but are established in common law or defined in the Magna Carta (1215) and the Petition of Right (1628).

		Unfortunately, the King, the courts and the sheriffs were able to defeat the intent of the Petition of Right of 1628 by creating various procedural delays in granting the writs of habeas corpus.
		The Bill of Rights proposed to resolve this issue by proclaiming "that excessive bail ought not to be required." Thus, the concept of the Eighth Amendment in the U.S Constitution was drafted to prevent the accused of bail-able offenses from exorbitantly high bail requirements.

		But as this limitation was unavoidably somewhat indefinite, it was deemed necessary to guard more effectually certain great cardinal principles, essential to the liberty of the citizen, and to the rights and equality of the states, by denying to congress, in express terms, any power of legislation over them.
