True. The first ten amendments to the United States Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights, were influenced by various sources, including the English Bill of Rights (1689) and the Pennsylvania Declaration of Rights (1776), among other documents. These sources helped shape the principles of individual liberties and protections against government overreach that are embodied in the Bill of Rights.
