8. Documen t in Brief Magna Carta The Magna Carta – or Great Charter – established the principle that the king or queen must obey the law A group of barons forced King John of England to sign the Magna Carta at Runnymede in 1215.

The purpose of the document was to limit the power of the monarch and to secure rights such as trial by jury, due process of law, and protection against arbitrary taking of life, liberty, or property. Below are excerpts from 5 of its 63 articles. 2.We also have granted to all the freemen of our kingdom, for us and for our heirs [those who inherit a title or property] forever, all the underwritten liberties, to be had and holden by them and their heirs, of us and our heirs forever… 12.No scutage [tax] or aid shall be imposed in our kingdom, unless by the general council of our kingdom; except for ransoming our person, making our eldest son a knight and once for marrying our eldest daughter; and for these there shall be paid no more than a reasonable aid. 14.And for holding the general council of the kingdom concerning the assessment of aids, except in the three cases aforesaid, and for the assessing of scutage, we shall cause to be summoned the archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls, and greater barons of the realm, singly by our letters. And furthermore, we shall cause to be summoned generally, by our sheriffs and bailiffs all others who hold of us in chief, for a certain day, that is to say, forty days before their meeting a least, and to a certain place. And in all letters of such summons we will declare the cause of such summons. And summons being thus made, the business shall proceed on the day appointed, according to the advice of such as shall be present, although all that were summoned come not. 39.No freeman shall be taken or imprisoned, or diseised [deprived], or outlawed, or banished, or in any way destroyed…unless by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land. 40.We will sell to no man, we will not deny to any man, either justice or right.
