 Magna Carta: the idea that people had political rights. ◦ Said that the king could not raise taxes without of consulting a council of nobles or church leaders.(1215)

 Pilgrims, English settlers seeking religious freedom.  Established Church: the chosen religion or religion of the state. ◦ Church of England( King of England was also head of the Church).  Persecution: mistreatment or punishment of people because of their religious beliefs.
