It forced certain liberties upon King John of England, and made him accept that his will was not arbitrary, for example by explicitly accepting that no "freeman" (in the sense of non-serf) could be punished except through the law of the land, a right which is still in existence today. It paved the way for constitutional governments.

What do the magna carta English bill of rights and glorious revolution have in common?
The Magna Carta guaranteed basic political rights in England. The English Bill of Rights was an agreement signed by William and Mary to respect the rights of English citizens and of Parliament. The Glorious Reveloution was the overthrow of English King James II in 1688 and his replacement by William and Mary. I would say that these three things have this in common; They happened in England. They all have to do with giving people (of England) rights.

What are the similarities between the magna carta and the US Constitution?
Actually, the Magna Carta was written first by the noblemen in Britain to King John of Britain because of the King's abuse of his power. He was not intelligent, nor a great war strategist, nor a brave warrior, nor a honest and kind King. He would often have people executed for speaking out against him. And so, the Magna Carta was drafted in order to put a restraint on the tyrant King. So in June 15th of 1215, the noblemen trapped the King at Runnymeade and forced him to sign it (it was rumoured that the King was illiterate).Anyway, this situation is increasingly similar to the way the colonies felt about King George III at the time around the American Revolution. How the King would abuse their "certain unalienable rights" such as life, liberty, and (property) the pursuit of happiness (borrowed from enlightenment thinker John Locke). It was also rumoured that the King was mentally insane. And through the war, the King was forced to sign the Treaty of Paris 1783 and renounce Britain's claim on the colonies.In a more concise way:Both the situations of the Historical Documents are very similar as well as the content. They both include how the basic rights would be upheld, how everyone was entitled to a jury trial, how the King (any single ruler) would not have the power to throw the people into prison or execute them without a trial, and much more. Even though the Magna Carta refers mainly to the noblemen and the Constitution applies to the common citizens.--LiraFrost

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.
