How are the magna carta and the English bill of rights similar?
The Magna Carta also known as "The Great Charter" was created in 1215 and signed by King John to limit the power of the king.
The Petition of Rights also limited the king's power.
The English Bill of Rights prohibited a standing army in peacetime; it also guaranteed the right to fair trial and freedom fom excessive bail.
Who did magna carta benefit for?
The main beneficiaries were the nobles (grandees). However, there were also some guarantees to 'free men', the main one being a fair trial by a jury.
During the Middle Ages, Magna Carta was revised a number of times, and by about 1400, 'free man' was reinterpreted to mean (just about) anyone
How did the signing of the Magna Carta influence the American Revolution?
It established extremely high taxes that outraged most American colonists.
Apex:
It promoted the idea that governments should have limited power.
What was the debate concerning a Bill of rights?
This is a very broad question, and I regret that this will be at best a condensed answer and at worst a misrepresentation of very well thought out positions, but some of the opposing viewpoints are:
First Amendment - Debate over this amendment is generally not partisan and usually centers around good taste (i.e. should pornography or explicit or subversive works be banned or censored) or damage to the greater good (i.e. what right do people have to yell "fire" in a crowded theater if it endangers the public.) Recently debate regarding the free practice of religion in the public sphere has veered into partisan lines. Conservatives insist on the freedom to display religious paraphernalia in the public sphere when it is Christian (i.e. the Ten Commandments on a courtroom steps or a nativity scene outside a federal building) but in a striking display of hypocrisy insist that minority displays of worship (i.e. building a Muslim community center near Ground Zero) be curtailed by good taste. Liberals generally insist that all religion be taken out of the sphere of government, including the above examples, and in more extreme cases attempting to eliminate "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance and the like.
Second Amendment - Conservatives generally believe that this amendment defends the right of all citizens to own any form of weapon with limited regulations or controls, or in extreme cases with no limitations whatsoever. Liberals generally believe that the right of citizens to own weapons is curtailed by the violence that can be inflicted without regulation - i.e. cop-killing automatic weapons should be banned and there should be limits on allowing children or felons access to weapons or the ability to conceal weapons. In extreme cases liberals may interpret this amendment as allowing only for the National Guard to hold weapons, and that private citizens are indeed not guaranteed the right to bear arms.
Fourth Amendment - This is increasingly being seen as a matter of national defense. In general, conservatives believe that increasingly draconian methods of search and seizure (i.e. warrantless wiretapping) are necessary and wise to defend against terrorist attacks while liberals tend to believe that civil liberties are far more important to the functioning of a society than personal safety, even if it endangers the homeland.
Sixth and Seventh Amendments - Similar to the 4th, conservatives may insist on opposing due process, for instance extraordinary rendition or the keeping of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay or unmarked overseas prisons in order to keep the homeland safe, while liberals will insist that jurisprudence is more important than safety.
Eighth Amendment - Recently back in the news in regards to the debate over the procedure known as "waterboarding" and whether that constitutes torture. Again, conservatives will insist that either waterboarding is not torture or that if it is, such torture is necessary to protect the United States while liberals will argue that waterboarding is clearly torture and thus banned by the 8th Amendment.
Tenth Amendment - In recent conservative doctrine this amendment is often used as a cudgel to deflect federal laws regarding gay marriage or taxes, with the argument that such matters are best left to the states. Liberals often oppose the notion that states have the right to defy federal law. This divide was also made recently apparent in the Arizona Immigration Law.

How did the Magna Carta change the way England was ruled?
The Magna Carta restricted the power of the King and his Nobles. It made the King subject to the law. Before the Magna Carta, the King was above the law, and thus could do whatever he wanted. Even stuff that was illegal for the common English citizen and serf.
I hope I answered your question. :D

Why did the nobles confront King John at Runnymead in 1215?
they got him to sign the articles of the barons .....they met up with the king and asked for more rights.......something like that....im pretty sure that's the correct answer
How has King John infringed upon the rights of the barons as seen in the Magna Carta?
King John infringed the rights of the Barons by giving them little freedom and lack of safety from their own knights. If thought guilty a person was put in jail, with no trial ( justice). The barons also had no protection of property and knights could take what they pleased. These are just some of the ways that King John infringed on the rights of the Barons.

Absolutely not! His family were from Anjou and Aquitane, both dukedoms who saw Normandy as their rival for power. Eleanor of Aquitaine married Henry of Anjou causing something of a scandal as he was somewhat younger than her. They had four sons, Henry, Geoffrey, Richard and John.
Henry of Anjou was the son of Empress Maud, rival to the throne of England and King Stephen, and her second husband Geoffrey of Anjou. Henry was given the kingship of England on the death of Stephen in a compromise to end the civil war that raged across the country. Thus the King of England was Angevin, from Anjou. Normandy came under the control of Anjou as part of the crown of England.
Henry's son Henry died before he was able to inherit anything. Geoffrey also died young leaving a son to rule his lands of Brittany. Richard became king of England on his father's death but himself died ten years later passing the crown of England to his youngest brother John.
Arthur was old enough, just, to contest the succession and had even been named at an earlier date by Richard, but Richard changed his mind on his death bed, probably because John was in England, older and therefore wiser and more able as a ruler when England was at war with the French king. Arthur pressed his claim but went a step too far by imprisoning his grandmother, Eleanor, giving John a cause to capture him and hold him. He was taken to Rouen where, according to the annals of Margam abbey in South Wales, Arthur was strangled in a fit of rage by John, witnessed by William de Braose, patron of Margam abbey. William later fell from favour and was hounded relentlessly by John, his wife and son bricked up in a room in Corfe castle where they starved to death.
Louis the XIV would have the rich nobles stay with him in Versailles during the winter for he could keep an eye on them and they couldnt leave his palace unless they asked permition but most of the time he didn't grant them permition to leave.
