Many people during this time, including Washington, felt that slavery was justified because the slaves in America were previously slaves in Africa, and were treated more poorly by their African masters than they were by their American masters. This was of course heavily refuted.
This is likely King John. In 1215 the Magna Carta was signed which limited the power of kings over his subjects. This granted people certain rights and is marked as the first point of this in English History.
Here's an excerpt from Wiki-pedia:
"Magna Carta Libertatum<span> (</span>Medieval Latin<span> for "the Great Charter of the Liberties"), commonly called </span>Magna Carta<span> (also </span>Magna Charta; "(the) Great Charter"),[a]<span> is a </span>charter<span> agreed to by </span>King John of England<span> at </span>Runnymede<span>, near </span>Windsor, on 15 June 1215.[b]<span>First drafted by the </span>Archbishop of Canterbury<span> to make peace between the unpopular King and a group of rebel </span>barons<span>, it promised the protection of church rights, protection for the barons from illegal imprisonment, access to swift justice, and limitations on </span>feudal<span> payments to </span>the Crown<span>, to be implemented through a council of 25 barons."</span>

Explanation:
John Monroe was an American diplomat, lawyer and statesman who was elected as the fifth president of the United States of America, he served from 1817 to 1825. President Monroe was born on the 28th of April, 1758 in Monroe Hall, Virginia, United States of America.
After the War of 1812, the United States of America and Great Britain had series of improved relationships with one another. These mutual relationships gave rise to the signing of the 1817 Rush-Bagot Pact and Convention of 1818 which played a significant role in the resolution of longstanding boundary disputes with respect to the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
Under President James Monroe, the 49th parallel was set as the boundary between the United States and Canada by Convention of 1818, which was signed on the 20th of October, 1818 in London, United Kingdom.
On the 22nd of December, 1823, President Monroe published the "Monroe Doctrine" in which European Colonialism in America was strongly prohibited and as such the Western Hemisphere was forbidden to the European powers.
Hence, the main purpose of the Monroe Doctrine was to establish that the nations of Europe should not establish any new colonies in the Western Hemisphere.
Also, the United States agreed to not intervene in the affairs of Europe.
