Lectures on the Relation between Law and Public Opinion in England A. V. Dicey 1 citation
The Bill of Rights is cited as authority for the claim that the framers of the 1689 settlement intended to reaffirm inherited English liberties rather than assert innate natural rights.
they unwittingly laid the foundations of a modern constitutional monarchy, but their intention was to reaffirm in the Bill of Rights and in the Act of Settlement, not the innate rights of man but the inherited and immemorial liberties of Englishmen.

The Genius of the Common Law Sir Frederick Pollock 1 citation
The Bill of Rights is invoked by name as the authoritative source in which fundamental Common Law political principles are embodied.
Our fathers laboured and strove chiefly in the field of Crown law to work out those ideals of public law and liberty which are embodied in the Bill of Rights and are familiar to American citizens in the constitutions of the United States and of their several commonwealths.

- beside a chapter, the passages anchored there. A single citation can quote more than one passage, which is why a row carries two figures: the citations the harvest recorded, and the passages its chapters add up to.
Every row here is derived from the harvest, not curated: the citation ledger holds the whole of it, and the atlas states the method.
