What have been the bad long-term results of September 11?

It's a day in the history of the U.S.A. that will never be forgotten. It was so unexpected it left not only the government, but society as a whole feeling vulnerable and terrified. Terrorists have been around for a long while, but this was the biggest threat on American soil. 9/11 changes the lives of not only Americans, but people all over the world. It reminded us that no country is safe and it woke up Western countries out of the fog they were in believing the opposite (we were snug and out of reach .. this includes Canada.) Psychiatry boomed up by another 70% or more because it was such a trauma to those affected by it by lost loved-ones and to those in society as a whole. It's terrifying to live in a large city in the U.S.A. and wonder when the next hit will come and now we're staring down the barrel of germ warfare. As always, although 9/11 will certainly never be forgotten and one should never forget the heroes (every day citizens) during that day, people in the U.S. and Canada or any other country that was involved in the World Trade Center are strong and will NEVER be beaten if we stick together. There is absolutely no room for terrorism in any way, shape or form. One good thing that did come out of this is people banding together helping each other and because of this we must never forget and honor those who have passed away by moving on in life, making our countries better and fighting against terrorism.

Why is the Magna Carta significant into extending self-government and individual liberty?

Magna Carta was in effect a deal between the King and the People; it restricted the powers of the King, and for the first time ever people were give certain basic rights.

But the beauty of this deal was than even in the event of one party breaking that deal, the deal still stood, while the offended party had an automatic right of redress.

It's meaning in relation to the question, is that the transfer of sovereignty from Parliament to an alien foreign power is not the prerogative of any politician, nor the King for that matter, the only party who can make that decision are the people themselves and since the Blair government was anxious to avoid consulting the people, he and others connived to bring about that transfer of power. He had no right to do that, and in this he acted in defiance of the law and for that he should be tried for treason- hopefully one day in the future his treachery may come before the Lord Lords the highest level of appeal in the land.

How did the Magna Carta and the Devastation of the Black Death weaken the feudal hierarchy?

The Black Death weakened the feudal system for a couple of reasons. First, the peasants found it possible to move outside their class. They formed the merchant class and made a profit from selling and trading goods. Second, after the plague, the peasants began to realize that even the nobles were not protected from the plague. They originally thought that God was protecting them, but the plague changed their point of view. Slowly, the feudal system collapsed and an oligarchy system was formed instead.
