What is Magna Carta?

Magna Carta which means ‘The Great Charter’, is one of the most important documents in history as it established the principle that everyone is subject to the law, even the king, and guarantees the rights of individuals, the right to justice and the right to a fair trial. The whole document is written in Latin, and the original Magna Carta had 63 clauses.

Significance of Magna Carta:

The Magna Carta is believed to be one of the first steps taken in England towards establishing parliamentary democracy. There are strong impacts from the Magna Carta in the American Bill of Rights, written in 1791. To this day there is a 1297 copy in the National Archives in Washington DC. Even more recently, the basic principles of the Magna Carta are seen very clearly in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, penned in 1948 just after World War II.

The statement which best describes the significance of the Magna Carta is it sets limits on the power of the British monarchy. It was one of the first written records of a structured government and society under the king.  

 

EXPLANATION:  

In 1215, King John was forced to sign Magna Carta. King John was the king in 119 when the previous king who was his brother, King Richard the Lionheart died without children. Yet, King John had a bad temper and very cruel. He was hated by the English Barons.  

In 1215 English Baron decided to rebel because they thought they had had enough of John’s high taxes and personality. English Barons went to London, led by Baron Robert Fitzwalter and made negotiation with King John. On 15th June 1215, English Barons demanded King John to sign Magna Carta which stated that the king wasn’t above the land’s law and would protect the people's rights.  

Magna Carta becomes English Great Charter. This charter of English liberties was granted on June 15, 1215, by King John. Magna Carta was granted under the threat of civil war and reissued, with alterations in 1216, 1217, and 1225. Magna Carta served the foundation for people's rights in Anglo-American jurisprudence by documenting the liberties held by free men and declaring the sovereign to be subject to the rule of law.
