How did Magna Carta affect British government?

Answer 1

There's a lot of misunderstanding about this. Magna Carta (1215) was mainly designed to prop up the privileges of the feudal grandees and the Church. It didn't turn England into a democracy. However, it did also stress the importance of the rule of law - meaning that the king (the executive) had to function within the laws. It also guaranteed the principle of due process: that is, people charged with crimes had to have a proper trial in accordance with the rules. There is also the clause that says that the king (executive) mustn't deny, sell or delay justice to anyone. Much later, in the reigns of James I and Charles I in the first hald of the 1600s, when relations between these kings and Parliament were very bad, Magna Carta was mythologized and used as a powerful Propaganda weapon against the monarchy.
