the united states?

a. granting freedom of speech to the legislature
b. providing protection from cruel and unusual punishments

Explanation:

English government traditions included limited religious tolerance (e.g., the Church of England was established), while the U.S. enshrined unrestricted religious freedom (First Amendment). Options A, B, C reflect English influences: parliamentary free speech, prohibition of cruel punishments (English Bill of Rights), and habeas corpus (legal tradition). Thus, D is the aspect not influenced by English traditions.

D. Granting unrestricted freedom to all religions
