magna carta



The Magna Carta is a document that established that everyone including the king was subject to the law and must follow it. This document was originally formed while king john was ruling. This document maintains the right to a free trial and several other clauses relating to human rights although it shaped the modern world we live in today there are only three clauses that remain as a part of the law. Most of the magna carter relates to the ownership of land and taxes of the people. Some today still believe the Magna Carta to be the foundations of Great Britain’s democracy that we live in today.
