What do the following chapters mean/translate to in The Bill of Rights?
Chapters VII. and VIII. are for the protection of the widows of tenants-in-chief. On the death of her husband a widow must receive her rightful inheritance, without delay or hindrance. Moreover she must not be compelled to marry, a proceeding sometimes adopted to get her lands into the possession of a royal minion.

There is no translation or similar statement in the Bill of Rights. The Magna Carta is NOT the basis of American law, the Constitution is.

It just protects the widow and it's very clear to me. Maybe you can be more concise with the part you don't understand
