The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, laid the groundwork for the development of individual rights by establishing the principle that everyone, including the king, is subject to the law. It emphasized the importance of due process, which directly influenced the concepts of Habeas Corpus—protecting individuals from unlawful detention—and the right to a fair trial by jury. These principles became foundational elements in modern legal systems, promoting justice and safeguarding personal liberties against arbitrary authority. Consequently, the Magna Carta is often celebrated as a key step towards the establishment of democratic governance and the rule of law.
The Magna Carta was signed in 1215, while the principle of habeas corpus was formally established in England with the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679. This means that it was approximately 464 years after the Magna Carta that habeas corpus was enacted into law. The concept of habeas corpus had existed in various forms prior to this act, but the 1679 legislation solidified its legal standing.
