Most important principle of Magna Carta is that everyone including the leaders must obey the principles of the constitution

Explanation:

Clause 39 of Magna Carta states that no man shall be punished or imprisoned except by the lawful judgement given by his equals which means that it is the judgement of the people . The phrase 'lawful judgement of the equals' refers to the judgement of the people or the representative of the people who voice the collective opinion regarding the guilty to be  imprisoned or not.

Magna carta when translated literally refers to 'Great Charter' which had an impact from Jefferson to Mahatma Gandhi. Magna Carta principles were echoed even in the declaration of independence.
