What were some of the basic legal right that the magna carta guarantee?
They were not as 'basic' as is often thought. It was a document to protect only the nobles of the Realm (and Catholic Church property and rights) from arbitrary acts by the King. The Magna Carta protected the nobles from arbitrary arrest and granted them access to the judicial process if arrested, and it protected the Church from property-grabbing by the King and royal infringements on its rights and powers. As far as the writers of the Magna Carta were concerned, the King could continue to do to the common peoples what he wanted.The Magna Carta never stopped the King, though: when centuries later Henry VIII established the Church of England, he simply confiscated the properties and wealth of the Catholic Church and monasteries without anyone (save the victims) complaining. And until the reign of Dutch King William III four hundred years later, nobles were regularly and for long spells committed to the Tower of London at the King's pleasure. But it's the thought behind the Magna Carta that counts, of course.
What was the purpose of the Magna Carta?
The Magna Carta was a document guaranteeing basic political rights in England. Magna Carta is Latin for "Great Charter". The document outlined rights which became part of English law and which are now the foundation of the constitution of all countries which speak English. It did not grant any new rights, but it did protect existing rights in writing. These rights included the basic right of anyone convicted of a crime to a jury trial; protection of private property; reasonable limits on taxes and a degree of guaranteed religious freedom. The Magna Carta was a significant influence on the long historical process that has resulted in the rule of constitutional law today. The Magna Carta came about because King John (who only became king in 1199 when his brother King Richard I died) had a reputation for being tyrannical. His reign was marred by continuous war losses, beginning with the loss of Normandy to Philippe Auguste of France and ending with England torn by civil war. King John risked being forced out of power because of his mismanagement. By 1215, England's nobility was fed up with paying extra taxation. Members of this nobility rebelled and captured London. In June, the King met these barons at Runnymede on the River Thames to try and reach a peaceful settlement. The King reluctantly agreed to their demands by signing the Magna Carta on 15 June 1215. It was intended to limit the powers of the monarch and proclaimed certain liberties for "freemen". Many later documents such as the US Constitution were based upon the Magna Carta.
What was the first sentence of the magna carta?
The main principle of the magna carta has 2 important principles. They are that people have rights and that the power of government is limited. DETAILED ANSWER The Magna Carta was a pact between the Lords ( Barons, Earls etc ) and the King which essentially limited the power of the King in relation to the power of the Lords, and established the rights of the Lords to a say in governance. This effectively made permanent the concept of Parliament and representation in governance. However, the Magna Carta DID NOT extend these rights to the peasant class. It simply clarified the hierarchy of power within the aristocracy. It is important in that it was the first official codicil limiting the power of a monarch and establishing a right of representation in government. This concept became fundamental to the English perspective of power and eventually spread to the formation of a house of commons, and, in the American revolution, to a representative form of government that eschewed aristocracy entirely. As such it was an important step on the cultural evolution of modern republican governance.
