The Magna Carta heavily influenced several foundational documents, including the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It established principles such as due process and the rule of law, which are echoed in these American documents. Additionally, the English Bill of Rights of 1689 also drew upon the Magna Carta's ideas about limiting the powers of the monarchy and protecting individual rights.
These documents reflect the English contribution to American democracy in several ways. First, the Magna Carta influenced the idea of limited government and the protection of individual rights, which can be seen in the American Constitution's Bill of Rights. Second, the English Bill of Rights influenced the concept of a constitutional monarchy and the separation of powers, which are key elements of the American system of government. Lastly, the English Common Law system served as the foundation for the American legal system, ensuring fairness and equal treatment under the law.
