Abolitionism is one of the many factors that lead to conflict between northern and southern states. This movement focused on getting rid of the institution of slavery. By emancipating (freeing) these slaves, Southern plantation owners would suffer a significant loss in profits, as slaves were not paid for their work.
This threat to Southern society caused them to rebel against this idea and any individual who supported it. This fear of freeing slaves ultimately lead in the secession of the Southern states, as the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 posed a serious threat to their way of life.
Clause 38 of the Magna Card says as follows : In future no official shall place a man on trial upon his own unsupported statement, without producing credible witnesses to the truth of it. The Magna Carta is a cedula that King Juan "without land" of England granted to the English nobles in which he undertook to respect the privileges and immunities of the nobility.
