The idea that the power of government is separated into three branches of government. Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches.

OF

Consist of the first ten (10) amendments to the Constitution. These amendments protect individual rights such as Free speech, freedom of the press, and jury trials. These amendments were added to the constitution to calm Anti-Federalist fears that the Constitution did not do enough to protect individual rights.

Magna Carta 1215 : Signed in England, this document provided limits to the power of the king. Signed by king John which made no one, not even the king above the law. Everyone was to be treated equally under the law. It limited the power of the king. He no longer had absolute power.
