The Bill of Rights and the magna carta?
some similarities are that they both possess clauses about due process of law, trial by jury, speedy and unbiased trial, and protection against bail, fines, and cruel punishment. Also both were instigated due to a lack of government efficiency. For the Magna Carta, King John was taxing his barons ridiculous amounts of money to fund his getting back of his french territories that he has lost, which he never successfully re-gained. The barons proposed to King John the magna carta, which he reluctantly signed only so that he could keep their allegiance with him. He actually found the Magna to be "mere foolishness!" In the case of the constitution, the government at the time was weak and the articles of confederation were very weak. THere was no central government, and when a rebellion broke out, a Constitutional Convention was called out in which the Constitution was born from.
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.
