Answer:

Black Americans didn't have many rights back in the day and mostly were slaves for the White citizens.

Black Americans were segregated from white people and weren't treated fairly. An example of this is when Rosa Parks sat in the bus on a seat that was 'reserved' for a white person.

Black Americans in the southern states suffered more discrimination than those in the north. This was because of the Jim Crow laws in the south. The Jim Crow laws legalised segregation and helped to keep black Americans in inferior positions in society, politics and the economy.

Some of these laws were -

Black Americans could not serve on juries, voting was made difficult for black Americans - and in order to vote they would have to pay a poll tax, pass a literacy test...,

Schools for black Americans were deliberately kept inferior- the textbooks were old and less money was spent on their privileges. This happened because the white people wanted the Black Americans to remain uneducated. Many Black citizens didn't have a proper education and if they did. they had very little and the environment where they studied was less in comparison to the white children. Meaning white children had the privileges of having bigger textbooks and bigger, more spacious classrooms, making it rare for Black Americans to study well and have a good education.

The Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights contributed most directly to the American system of government by
ladessa [460]

In 1215, a band of rebellious medieval barons forced King John of England to agree to a laundry list of concessions later called the Great Charter, or in Latin, Magna Carta. Centuries later, America’s Founding Fathers took great inspiration from this medieval pact as they forged the nation’s founding documents—including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

For 18th-century political thinkers like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, Magna Carta was a potent symbol of liberty and the natural rights of man against an oppressive or unjust government. The Founding Fathers’ reverence for Magna Carta had less to do with the actual text of the document, which is mired in medieval law and outdated customs, than what it represented—an ancient pact safeguarding individual liberty.

“For early Americans, Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence were verbal representations of what liberty was and what government should be—protecting people rather than oppressing them,” says John Kaminski, director of the Center for the Study of the American Constitution at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Much in the same way that for the past 100 years the Statue of Liberty has been a visual representation of freedom, liberty, prosperity and welcoming.”

When the First Continental Congress met in 1774 to draft a Declaration of Rights and Grievances against King George III, they asserted that the rights of the English colonists to life, liberty and property were guaranteed by “the principles of the English constitution,” a.k.a. Magna Carta. On the title page of the 1774 Journal of The Proceedings of The Continental Congress is an image of 12 arms grasping a column on whose base is written “Magna Carta.
