Magna Carta

• Under the Magna Carta, the right of the king to raise revenues and taxes was revoked.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

The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, required the King of England, John, to respect certain legal rights of his subjects and limit his powers. It mandated that the king could not levy taxes or make decisions without the consent of his barons, establishing the principle of due process and the rule of law. Additionally, it ensured that the king would be held accountable for his actions, laying the groundwork for constitutional governance.

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.

The Magna Carta signing lead to the formation of the English Bill of Rights because it encouraged the colonists to gain independence from Great Brittian. You're welcome!

one reform is that , they "protected the tenants from the lords

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

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.

yes.
