Honest question, which civil rights first originated in America?

As in, what freedoms and liberties are uniquely American in origin and didn't instead start with the British / French / Austrians, etc. etc?

The only one I can think of is for America to be free of British rule, that's about it.

That's barking up the wrong tree. Zero freedoms or liberties are uniquely American from the American point of view, because that would undermine the doctrine of Natural Rights.

Birthright citizenship by law and not just custom. Ironic, isn't it.
