The Magna Carta promised:

1. No free man shall be punished unless judged lawfully by his peers.

2. There shall be no "selling" of justice -- in other words, no bribes accepted by those in the position of judging.

3. Fines assessed against those convicted of an offense shall not be more than the person could afford to pay.

Here are clauses from the Magna Carta which include such promises.

Clause 20: For a trivial offence, a free man shall be fined only in proportion to the degree of his offence, and for a serious offence correspondingly, but not so heavily as to deprive him of his livelihood.

Clause 39: No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.

Clause 40: To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice.

Why was the tenth amendment enacted?

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The final of the 10 amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights, the Tenth Amendment was inserted into the Constitution largely to relieve tension and to assuage the fears of states’ rights advocates, who believed that the newly adopted Constitution would enable the federal government to run roughshod over the states and their citizens. While the Federalists, who advocated a strong central government, had in that respect prevailed with the ratification of the Constitution, it was essential to the integrity of the document and to the stability of the fledgling country to acknowledge the interests of the Anti-Federalists, such as Patrick Henry, who had unsuccessfully opposed the strong central government created by the Constitution.
