The Proclamation

Reading the Proclamation it resembles the American Bill of Rights in many ways. I always think its interesting to see how others have adapted to history, as people say we must learn from history, or become history. Numerous laws that the Gulhane Proclamation lay out were first made in the Bill of Rights of American society. 

Security for Life, Honor, and Fortune or from the Bill of Rights - Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness.

Each one shall be publicly judged - or from the Bill of Rights - due process and trial by jury.

The list goes on and on. This document seems to lay out the laws and guidelines to being a successful territory. The United States Bill of Rights does exactly that and it seems these two documents could go hand in hand, except they were written more than a hundred years apart.
