Yes, the Magna Carts's influenced the peasants in a very good way, it helped them find jobs in factories and there was money for college for the first time in 900 years. The kids went to college on a Magna-Scholarship but became spoiled so they ended it.

The Magna Carta had very little effect on the lives of peasants. It was all about protecting the barons. Peasants were still subject to the Feudal System.
Labour shortages caused by the Black Death had a much greater effect on the emancipation of the peasants.

It protected them! They could grow crops and nor land lord or Baron in 1215 could be confiscating or making them indentured! They would be payed could in some areas claim property and farm it develope it and prosper by it! Lifting themselves from dependant "peasants" to home and land holders and independant Citizens! Read Rudyard Kiplings famous poem "Runnymead" concerning the signing of the Magna Carter june of 1215 Here is part of it--At Runnymede, at Runnymede,
Your rights were won at Runnymede!
No freeman shall be fined or bound,
Or dispossessed of freehold ground,
Except by lawful judgment found
And passed upon him by his peers.
Forget not, after all these years,
The Charter signed at Runnymede
