Yes, the Magna Carta was a democratic document. In fact it is often said to be the beginning of modern democracy. The Magna Carta took power from the Monarch of England and gave it to the common people, which in that era would have been white men of age.

The Magna Carta created the principle of limited government requiring the king to govern according to laws. It established due process of law such as right to trial by a jury. The Magna Carta also established the rule of law making sure that everyone, even the king, follows the same set of laws.
