  4. The document granted the right of “habeas corpus,”which meant people could not be put in jail without a reason. Kings could not have people arrested without good cause. Everyone had to obey the laws, even the king. The king’s council became Parliament, the lawmaking body that governs England today. By the late Middle Ages, kings could do little without Parliament’s support. Courts became free of royal control when the king could no longer choose judges. The Magna Carta began the English people’s movement toward democracy. Effects of the Magna Carta
