This depends on which version of the Magna Carta you are referring to. For example, certain clauses in the MC of 1215 were put in place to protect widows from Jewish loans (which were by extension loans to the crown) but this and other clauses are omitted in later versions.

What was the first sentence of the magna carta?

The main principle of the magna carta has 2 important principles. They are that people have rights and that the power of government is limited. DETAILED ANSWER The Magna Carta was a pact between the Lords ( Barons, Earls etc ) and the King which essentially limited the power of the King in relation to the power of the Lords, and established the rights of the Lords to a say in governance. This effectively made permanent the concept of Parliament and representation in governance. However, the Magna Carta DID NOT extend these rights to the peasant class. It simply clarified the hierarchy of power within the aristocracy. It is important in that it was the first official codicil limiting the power of a monarch and establishing a right of representation in government. This concept became fundamental to the English perspective of power and eventually spread to the formation of a house of commons, and, in the American revolution, to a representative form of government that eschewed aristocracy entirely. As such it was an important step on the cultural evolution of modern republican governance.

What 2 documents supported the ideal of limited government?

The two documents that supported the ideal of limited government are the Magna Carta and the United States Constitution. The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, established the principle that everyone, including the king, is subject to the law, thus limiting governmental power. The United States Constitution, particularly through its system of checks and balances and the Bill of Rights, further enshrines the concept of limited government by safeguarding individual liberties and restricting governmental authority.
