Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter," literally "Great Paper"), also called Magna Carta Libertatum ("Great Charter of Freedoms"), is an English charter originally issued in 1215. Magna Carta was the most significant early influence on the long historical process that led to the rule of constitutional law today. Magna Carta influenced many common law documents, such as the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, and is considered one of the most important legal documents in the history of democracy.

Magna Carta was originally created because of disagreements between Pope Innocent III, King John, and his English barons about the rights of the King. Magna Carta required the king to renounce certain rights, respect certain legal procedures and accept that "the will of the king could be bound by law." Many clauses were renewed throughout the Middle Ages, and further during the Tudor and Stuart periods, and the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. By the early nineteenth century, most clauses had been repealed from English law.

There are a number of popular misconceptions about Magna Carta, such as that it was the first document to limit the power of an English king by law (it was not the first, and was partly based on the Charter of Liberties); that it in practice limited the power of the king (it mostly did not in the Middle Ages); and that it is a single static document (it is a variety of documents referred to under a common name). Nonetheless, rights established by the Magna Carta have subsequently become fundamental principles of international human rights and it can be argued that democratic societies developed as a long-term consequence of this charter.

Mumz [18]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The two arguments in favor of lighting for female suffrage in the mid-1800s would be these.

1.- Women are equal to men, so they deserve the same rights and obligations under the law.

2.- Women played an important role not only in the family but also were smart enough to be included in the business and social life.

The two arguments against female suffrage would be these.

1.- Many anti-suffragist of that time said that most women did not have the desire to vote.

2.- Unfortunately, some of those anti-suffragist believed that women did not have the expertise or intellect to be informed about politics. Some of the formed associations such as the Massachusetts Association Opposed to the Further Extension of Suffrage to Woman.

Fortunately, as we know, the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution granted American women the right to vote in August 18, 1920.
