Magna Carta

the answer is they made him sign the magna carta cuz they wanted to take over the land and if he didnt sign it then they was gonna kill him and he didnt wanna die. but he really did wanna keep his land and be the leader of his land that belonged to him. so mainly he just signed a deed to make someone else be the leader

well the magna carta was signed in 1215 by king john of England this document protected the authority and privilege of the nobility against the absolute power of the king. it limited the kings rights to arbitrarily tax and seize people or their property, the document applied to all "freemen", granting them certain protections.

now the Bill of Rights set out in detail the rights of individual citizens

so to answer your question the connection between them is that they are both documents that were signed for the protection and rights of the citizens the bill of rights just put it in more detail. hope this helped :)

the people wanted peace and justice of harsh rule of king john

The Magna Carta or "Great Charter" limited royal power over the nobility. King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta by rebellious barons who resented his attempts to tax them. The Magna Carta guaranteed the traditional rights of the English nobility. For example, King John agreed to consult a Great Council composed of high nobles and Church officials before placing any new taxes.

Barons will be fined only if the other Barons say they are guilty the other one is no free man may be arrested or put in prison unless other free men decide that he is guilty unless he has a proper trial

The taxing of perishable goods such as cheese, milk, and yogurt

King John signed the Magna Carta in 1215 in a meadow at Runnymede, which is near Egham in the Southern English county of Surrey.

He did not sign it, but had the Royal "Great Seal" attached to it.

it is for the protection of teachers from his job especially the tenure of office...

There's a lot of misunderstanding about this. Magna Carta (1215) was mainly designed to prop up the privileges of the feudal grandees and the Church. It didn't turn England into a democracy. However, it did also stress the importance of the rule of law - meaning that the king (the executive) had to function within the laws. It also guaranteed the principle of due process: that is, people charged with crimes had to have a proper trial in accordance with the rules. There is also the clause that says that the king (executive) mustn't deny, sell or delay justice to anyone. Much later, in the reigns of James I and Charles I in the first hald of the 1600s, when relations between these kings and Parliament were very bad, Magna Carta was mythologized and used as a powerful propaganda weapon against the monarchy.

The exact wording of the first article of the Magna Carta is:

First, that we have granted to God, and by this present charter have confirmed for us and our heirs in perpetuity, that the English Church shall be free, and shall have its rights undiminished, and its liberties unimpaired. That we wish this so to be observed, appears from the fact that of our own free will, before the outbreak of the present dispute between us and our barons, we granted and confirmed by charter the freedom of the Church's elections - a right reckoned to be of the greatest necessity and importance to it - and caused this to be confirmed by Pope Innocent III. This freedom we shall observe ourselves, and desire to be observed in good faith by our heirs in perpetuity. We have also granted to all free men of our realm, for us and our heirs for ever, all the liberties written out below, to have and to keep for them and their heirs, of us and our heirs

1. the Magna Carta took away some of the king's powers. He could no longer collect taxes unless a group called the great council agreed.

2. "The Magna Carta of 1215 had limited royal power and protected nobles from unlawful loss of life, liberty, and property". (I got it from text book)

3. limits power of English king

Didn't his son Henry the 7th forget all about it and do what he wanted and people weren't happy but by the time they were very angry henry 7th had died so henry 8th had to meet the public in the middle and go back to the magna carta?

sorry im not really sure.

The idea of natural right comes several hundred years after the Magna Carta. Natural Rights is a revolutionary idea in the time of kings. Basically it states that God has given people rights and that the king is not the only person with rights.

The Magna Carta included the rights to trial by jury, due process and protection against the taking of life, liberty and property.

it just floated

The idea that no man can be put in prison unless by order of a Court of Law after a fair trial. The Magna Carta itself by the way extended that right only to members of the nobility and the Church.

It forced certain liberties upon King John of England, and made him accept that his will was not arbitrary, for example by explicitly accepting that no "freeman" (in the sense of non-serf) could be punished except through the law of the land, a right which is still in existence today. It paved the way for constitutional governments.

The Magna Carta is Latin for "Great Charter". It set down rights which became part of English law and which are now the foundations for the constitutions of all countries which speak English. It did not grant any new rights, but it did protect existing rights in writing. These rights included the basic right of anyone convicted of a crime to a jury trial; protection of private property; reasonable limits on taxes and a degree of guaranteed religious freedom. The Magna Carta was a significant influence on the long historical process that has resulted in the rule of constitutional law today.

The Magna Carta came about because King John (who only became king in 1199 when his brother King Richard I died) had a reputation for being tyrannical. His reign was marred by continuous war losses, beginning with the loss of Normandy to Philippe Auguste of France and ending with England torn by civil war. King John risked being forced out of power because of his mismanagement. By 1215, England's nobility was fed up with paying extra taxation. Members of this nobility rebelled and captured London. In June, the King met these barons at Runnymede on the River Thames to try and reach a peaceful settlement. The King reluctantly agreed to their demands by signing the Magna Carta on 15 June 1215. It was intended to limit the powers of the monarch and proclaimed certain liberties for "freemen".

Many later documents such as the US Constitution were based upon the Magna Carta.

First drafted by the Archbishop of Canterbury to make peace between the unpopular King and a group of rebel barons, it promised the protection of church rights, protection for the barons from illegal imprisonment, access to swift justice, and limitations on feudal payments to the Crown, to be implemented through a council of 25 barons.

Here are a few interestings facts:

-King john was nicknamed John Lackland after he lost loads of his land to King Phillip

-John signed the magna carta but broke all his promises and some of the laws of the magna carta

-He died after eating peaches and a lot of ale

-Apparently he killed Artur by stabbing him then tying him to a rock and throwing him in a river just so he could be more powerful

-When Richard died before Johns reign he didnt leave enough money so John had to raise the taxes

Hope this helps!

The barons hoped that the magna carta would make them fair between king john and they would have more strawberries to eat.

Because the people were fed up with him misusing his tons of power and the people not getting a say in anything that he did. The Magna Carta took away some of the king's abilities and made his power slightly more reasonable.

It made it so it could limit King John in 1215 and other furture kings' power. Its effects on england were that it gave the citizens some rights and forced the kings act according to law because if they didn't they could lose their status.
