Briefly answer the following questions about the Magna Carta.
Korolek [52]

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

Why did the colonists value their rights so highly?
Vitek1552 [10]
The colonists valued their rights so highly because the king of England didn’t give them any freedoms or rights. The colonists didn’t have any of the rights that we have today so they fought hard to make sure everyone was treated fairly. It’s the only just thing to do.
