Magna Carta

a charter of liberty and political rights obtained from King John of England by his rebellious barons at Runnymede in 1215, which came to be seen as the seminal document of English constitutional practice.

No there none of laws that are still alive about magna carta. For more information tip please search here ://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magna_Carta

The U.S. Constitution is influenced by the Magna Carta. The major similarities in these documents are the Writ of Habaes Corpus, the Right to speedy trial, and "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law."

Prohibited the king from taking property or taxes without consent of a council.

The main goal of the magna carta was to limit some of the kings power, such as the power to tax.It established two important principles that people have rights and that the power of government should be limited.

also to bring back the old English laws that had prevailed before the normans came.

Answer Initially, the purpose of Magna Carta was to strengthen the power of the barons and weaken that of the king. So, it strengthened the feudal system. However, it also guaranteed that justice would not be sold or denied to any free man or withheld or delayed. It also guaranteed (initially, only to free men) the right to trial by jury. By the late Middle Ages (about 1400) the rights guaranteed to free men were extended to everyone. Magna Carta was changed several times in the Middle Ages. The original version dates from 1215, but in England the version of 1297 came to be regarded as particularly important, as it was the first version approved by Parliament. Probably the actual use made of Magna Carta during the confrontations between the Parliament and the King is more important than the detail of Magna Carta. From about 1620-1690 it was used to extend the rights of ordinary people and to limit the power of the monarchy. Joncey & peinus

The Magna Carta was signed by King John of England. It was singed at Runnymede in a meadow. They made it to limit King John's powers and give the citizens under him more freedom.

The Cornish word for the Cornish language is Kernewek.

Kernow means Cornwall. It can also mean a Cornishman.

Kernewes means a Cornish woman.

• Under the Magna Carta, the right of the king to raise revenues and taxes was revoked.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.

• Finally, a council of vassals was organized to approve or disapprove of the king's revenue raising. This became the forerunner of the Parliament.

The enlightment ideas of the magna carta were to give pesants and nobels equal rights, as well as to limit the power of the king over his subjects.

English Bill of Rights

· The influence of the Magna Carta can be found in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Article 21 from the Declaration of Rights in the Maryland Constitution of 1776 reads: "That no freeman ought to be taken, or imprisoned, or disseized of his freehold, liberties, or privileges, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any manner destroyed, or deprived of his life, liberty, or property, but by the judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land."

Both are foundations of the political thinking, but I don't think they influenced many. Maybe Thomas Jefferson who was a reader of John Locke and other thinkers, but since they were several hundred years in the past they did not figure into the scheme of things and just like today they existed in the past. I haven't heard anyone state recently that they need to go look up something in 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.

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.

The Magna Carta was granted on 15 June 1215.

It established extremely high taxes that outraged most American colonists.

Apex:

It promoted the idea that governments should have limited power.

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.
