Magna Carta Simplified

Answer 3

Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter", literally "Great Paper"), also called Magna Carta Libertatum ("Great Charter of Freedoms"), is an English charter originally issued in 1215. Magna Carta was the most significant early influence on the long historical process that led to the rule of constitutional law today. Magna Carta was originally created because of disagreements between Pope Innocent III, King John and his English barons about the rights of the King. Magna Carta required the king to renounce certain rights, respect certain legal procedures and accept that the will of the king could be bound by law.

The Magna Carta was a document signed by John of England after being issued by his barons after a meeting at Runnymede, Surrey, in 1215. Magna Carta (Latin for 'Great Charter') is one of the most celebrated documents in English history. It solved, at the time, a conflict between King John and his main men: the barons and bishops. It had great influence on later English law. In the longer term, it is recognised as a cornerstone of the idea of the liberty of citizens. Magna Carta contains 63 clauses written in Latin on parchment. Only three of the original clauses in Magna Carta are still law today. One defends the freedom and rights of the English Church, another confirms the liberties and customs of London and other towns. This clause (translated) is the main reason the Carta is still famous: "No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled. Nor will we proceed with force against him except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice". This clause limits the power of rulers, and introduces the idea of lawful process and the idea of a jury.

For your purposes, the Magna Carta is the beginning of "liberty" as modern people understand it.
Unitl the barons of England forced King John to sign it, society was built on the idea that the King held absolute power from God. The Magna Carta established the precedent that a ruler's power depended instead on the consent of (at least a few of) the folks under him. Over the next 500 years or so, that evolved into the ideas contained in the Declaration of Independence.

Answer 7

The magna carta basically was created because the king had too much power and various people and the pope where having arguments. It stripped the king of some of his power to make him less powerful than the pope.

If you write out the points covered someone should be able to help you with them. Right now everyone is just giving you the general overview, which I take it is what you do not need. Just write them out instead of numbering them out. Good luck.
