Racial Profiling" refers to the discriminatory practice by law enforcement officials of targeting individuals for suspicion of crime based on the individual's race, ethnicity, religion or national origin. Criminal profiling, generally, as practiced by police, is the reliance on a group of characteristics they believe to be associated with crime. Examples of racial profiling are the use of race to determine which drivers to stop for minor traffic violations (commonly referred to as "driving while black or brown"), or the use of race to determine which pedestrians to search for illegal contraband.

what was signifficant about he magna carta and . the english bill of rights in the political history of england

Mrac [35]

Regarding the Magna Carta, it was a document that stated everyone is to be held accountable for their crimes-even the King-which is I believe the first time in English history that the king didn’t have absolute power and that everyone had a right to a fair trial. The English bill of rights was similar because it limited the power of the king/queen and gave people more freedom of speech. The bill of rights was passed on December 16, 1689 and the Magna Carta was signed and sealed on June 15, 1215.
