The Magna Carta was a legal document forced upon King John I to put an end to his unjust behavior. Overall, it stated that:
-All citizens are guaranteed protection by the law and trial by jury.
-The King cannot collect money from the Barons without their general consensus.
-Habeas Corpus will be in forced (a requirement of authorities to provide legal proof of why a person is being imprisoned).
These ideas are the basis of many legal systems still present today.
The Magna Carta was a legal document signed in 1215 by King John of England. The Magna Carta promises all English citizens the right to a fair trial, as well as King John's promise not to tax the barony without their consent, and to govern according to feudal law.
The Magna Carta included the rights to trial by jury, due process and protection against the taking of life, liberty and property.
The most important document in American Government is the Constitution. The Magna Carta is the first of a series of documents leading to the rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. The Magna Carta is important in that it is the first of many. Being at the head of the line makes it quite important. Still, the other documents that continued the line contained more rights. If they had not existed the Magna Carta would be forgotten.
The Magna Carta guaranteed rights to English nobleman and freemen. They could not have their property seized by officials. They could not be taxed in most cases. They could not be put on trial based on only an official's word. They could only be punished by a jury of their peers.
The right of the king to raise revenues and taxes was revoked. Judges could no longer arbitrarily try and sentence free men. Free men could only be tried and sentenced by a jury of their equals. A council of vassals was organized to approve or disapprove of the king's revenue raising.

There is no such thing as "The English Bill of Rights". Are you referring to "Magna Carta" if so please ask the correct question.
no taxation
They thought this because the colonies were run by England at first.
This document was revolutionary and sparked new ideas promoting democracy. It guaranteed certain basic political rights such as no taxation without representation. It also limited the King's power to ensure a stable government. If you wish to go more in depth in this document you will find many ideas that influenced modern day society. The Bill of Rights can be compared to the Magna Carta because they share some of the same ideas and stabilize our government.
