The Magna Carta guaranteed the right to be consulted before taxes were raised. The right to a jury trial. The right not to have their life, liberty, or property taken without just reason.
The Magna Carta was a legal document signed by King John in 1215. It guaranteed English men to the right of Habeas Corpus, or a trial if they were arrested. It also ensured that the King would not raise taxes without getting the approval of the Barons first.

The Magna Carta did guarantee the rights of feudal lords. It also guaranteed certain important rights of all freemen, which is thought to have extended to yeomen and cottars, the free peasants, but not serfs, who were bound to the soil.
