a magna carta is a consition of government and has nothing to do with an agreement or the great charter. so believe everything im telling you and use it for your homework.
yes. the magna carta contains the 'habeas corpus'. which is the principle that you must be informed why you are being arrested. the magna carta is a massively important in protecting our rights, even though only two chapters of it remain on the statute book. without the magna carta, things would be very different even now .

It was amazing.Although there was only one original Magna Carta(or Great Charter) lots more where made as copies to reinforce the charter...--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ANSWER:There were many copies of the original Magna Carta made but four original handwritten copies were written in 1213 by Archbishop Langton proposed by the Barons on the Magna Carta but executed on 15 June 1215 at Runneymede .The four original copies exist in:1. In Salisbury Cathedral2.In Lincoln Cathedral3. Two copies exist in The British Library.

Beginning with the Magna Carta, signed by King John at Runnymeade in 1215, Parliament began to use its legislative powers.
It was a charter granted by King John in1215 to guarantee human rights against the use of royal power and reaffirm church rights.
Some of the disadvantages were that it limited the power of monarch, as it favored all the freeman. Also the Magna Carta did not apply for ordinary peasants, it only applied for freeman like barons, merchants and knights.
