Why was the Magma Carta an important step in the cause of freedom for England?
The Magna Carta, signed in 1215 by King John, was an important step in because it took some power from the monarch and gave it to the people. An example of this would be that the monarch could no longer take someone's land without just reason and payment to the person for the land. Because of this major step from traditional government, the Magna Carta is often regarded as the basis of Democracy. Never before had power been taken from the monarch and given to the people. It was, however, still a far cry from the consitutional monarchy that Great Britain has today.
Did the Magna Carta provide religious freedom?
It provided freedom only for the "Church of England" which, at the time it was written, meant the Catholic Church of England as the present church did not come into being until 1534.
What was the document signed in 1215 which guaranted englishmen basic human rights?
The Bill of Rights guaranteed freedom of religion mainly. It put a "wall of separation between church and state" which is what Thomas Jefferson and James Madison (etc.) wanted.
