What events led up to English men being able to petition against the king (magna carta 1215)?
The rebellion in 1215 of English nobles against King John of England, the so-called First Barons' War. Many people think that the Magna Carta gave all Englishmen the right to a fair trial in a Court of Law, but that is not correct. The only people granted the right of trial in the Magna Carta were the nobles themselves, and the officials of the Roman Catholic Church.

How many copies of the Magna Carta are there?
One I think. I saw it while in England. What surprised me about it is how small the writing was and how even it was spaced on the paper. It was amazing.Although there was only one original Magna Carta(or Great Charter) lots more where made as copies to reinforce the charter...--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ANSWER:There were many copies of the original Magna Carta made but four original handwritten copies were written in 1213 by Archbishop Langton proposed by the Barons on the Magna Carta but executed on 15 June 1215 at Runneymede .The four original copies exist in:1. In Salisbury Cathedral2.In Lincoln Cathedral3. Two copies exist in The British Library.
What is the Magna Carta and all you need to know about it?
I asked the question and I'm answering the question. Why? Because I want to help all of you who are stuck on the Magna Carta and what it is.WHAT IS THE MAGNA CARTA?The Magna Carta was also called the Magna Carta Libertatum or the Great Charter. The Magna Carta was written in Latin and the words "Magna Carta Libertatum" means the Great Charter of Freedom". As you can guess, that is why some people also call it the Great Charter.HOW WAS KING JOHN OF ENGLAND INVOLVED WITH THE MAGNA CARTA?After a lot of pressure(John was not an extremely nice man)John's Barons and Bishops created a document which they called Magna Carta(or Magna Carta Libertatum). They wanted John to sign it because it would be like signing a contract-that they would get their rights after John died. John didn't exactly agree with it but what could he do?So in June 1215, he sealed the document.For those of younger people reading this, it was kind of like a will....AND WHAT HAPPENED TO IT AFTER THAT?Well, before, as I told you, John was not the most decent man you could find so he abandoned the Magna Carta(I can hear some of you gasp back there!) and the Barons got extremely angry. In fact, a war broke out which led to John's death.He was killed on 19 October 1216.I LOOKED THIS UP ON WIKI AND IT SAID THERE WHERE SOME COPIES!Yeah...I didn't finish. Shortly after John's death, Henry III took over. He didn't like the ways of his father, thus reissued the Magna Carta in 1225. After that...who knows?GRRR!! YOU STILL HAVEN'T ANSWERED MY QUESTION!Which is...?WHAT ABOUT THE COPIES? WHERE THERE ANY COPIES?!Umm...well...yeah. I think so.HOW MANY!!?Hey, Mister "Bold-Writing-with-the-Caps-Lock-on"! I'm not exactly sure(actually I think there might be 3 around today but I'm not to sure)....SO WHAT DID THE GREAT CHARTER SAY?Hey! I don't know everything! But I know the answer to this.The Magna Carta said:John, by the Grace of God King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitine and...WHAT?I've just thought up an idea! Type this into your address bar:www.bl.UK./treasures/magnacarta/index.HTML#WELL...THANKS..Hope this helped!
Did King John do anything good?
King John signed the Magna Carta, which guaranteed some fundamental rights. He was pressured into this by the barons and for the sake of the barons, but some basic rights extended to everyone.
What are the effects of the Magna Carta?
nothing in our time now.IT SHAPED THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT!!! COMPARE THE CLAUSES OF MC AND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE USAns. 3There were a number of effects of Magna Carta during the 13th century, but the question asks "What are the effects". There is one aspect of Magna Carta which echos down the centuries, and touches our lives today.The King must obey the law. To us this seems obvious, self-evident. To the people of 1215 it was anything but. Prior to Magna Carta the king could do whatever he wanted; the very idea that perhaps he couldn't was stunning. This was the first little step towards democracy as we understand it today, and until that little step was taken no progress towards democracy was possible.
Why do you think colonists believed they were entitled to the rights. Guaranteed by the Magna Carta and the English bill of rights?
They thought this because the colonies were run by England at first.
