Magna Carta was originally created because of disagreements between Pope Innocent III, King John and his English barons about the rights of the King. The Magna Carta made the king denounced some of his rights , and made him realize he was not above the law. It also made him respect certain legal procedures , and realize his will was bound by law.
basically the magna carta was to secure the rights of the English aristocracy because they felt the king had usurped too much of their power. The magna carta actually went through quite a few different versions as kings would gradually ignore it then have to restate it at least in part to keep the nobility from revolting.
It did secure some freedoms such as rights of widows and wards, but its main focus was on the barons and their rights to hold courts and to approve of things going on in the kingdom such as taxes before the king could levy them.
The magan Carta was the cornerstone for the future British Constitution. Many later attempts to draft constitutional forms of government, including the United States Constitution, trace their lineage back to the Magna Carta
Yale University professor William Graham Sumner was an advocate of social Darwinism. Sumner said, “The aggregation of large fortunes is not at all a thing to be regretted, on the contrary, it is a necessary condition of many forms of social advance…. Millionaires are the product of natural selection.” The Salvation Army advocated the Social Gospel. Author Charles M. Sheldon asked his readers to consider “What would Jesus do?” in regard to society’s problems. Explain the difference between social Darwinism and the Social Gospel.
What did each school of thought advocate in terms of social policies?
What actions did each believe the government or individuals should take?
Answer:
Social Darwinism believes that certain people are more powerful in society because they possess better qualities than others. It believes in the maxim of "survival of the fittest". The Republican Party believes in this theory and because they believe they are better and most able to be wealthy and influential, they refuse to help the poor because it is their fault.
Mercantilism is a theory that believes that everyone gets what they truly deserve, whether they are better than others or not.
Social Gospel Movement is a Christian movement which aims to help the poor and less privileged in society because of their Christian values.
That process is called food preserving/processing.
