Magna Carta was made in 1215 in England. The purpose is to guide the activities of the people and to guide against the excesses of the government.
Hence, this Magna Carta 16, translates to the understanding that every man, either serfs or not, should only carry out work based on the agreement that involves pay. Except he wants to do extra or free job willingly. That is from his mind. And such man should not be compelled to do the work out of his own volition. Hence, no more forced labor.
