excerpt from the declaration of independence

he has kept among us, in times of peace. standing armies without the consent of our legislatures.
he has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.
he has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws: giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation.
how does the focus of the bill of rights excerpt differ from the declaration?
the bill of rights ensures due process rights.
the declaration establishes new legal systems.
the bill of rights lists foreign grievances.

Explanation:

The Bill of Rights excerpt focuses on legal protections like due process (e.g., “nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”). The Declaration excerpt focuses on grievances against a foreign power (e.g., “He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution”). The first option about the Bill of Rights ensuring due - process rights is correct as it aligns with the content of the Bill of Rights excerpt (mentions about not being deprived of life, liberty, property without due process). The second option is wrong because the Declaration excerpt does not establish new legal systems but lists grievances. The third option is wrong because the Bill of Rights excerpt does not list foreign grievances.

Answer:

The Bill of Rights ensures due process rights.
