Magna Carta excerpt analysis

"The Church is free to make its own appointments." Meaning: The Church had the final say who was appointed to Church positions of power.

"No more than the normal amounts of money can be collected to run the government, unless the king's feudal tenants give their consent." Meaning: The King was not allowed to demand more money (taxes) from people unless the Great Council agreed.

"No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions... except by the lawful judgment of his peers." Every free male has the right to a fair trial.

Other Magna Carta Declarations -took away some of the King’s power & gave more to nobles -the King is not above the law

-Magna Carta=Great Charter (charters are documents that allow towns to control their own affairs)
