  8. The Magna Carta(The Great Charter) 1215 • On June 15, 1215, the barons of Medieval England confronted King John at Runnymede, and forced the king to put his seal on the Magna Carta. • King John had been an unpopular king who abused his power, oppressed his subjects • The barons wrote the Magna Carta, which contained 63 clauses promising all freemen access to courts and a fair trial, eliminating unfair fines and punishments, giving power to the Catholic Church in England, and addressing many lesser issues. • The Magna Carta was the source of many of the important ideas contained in founding documents of the United States, such as the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.

  9. Principle The Magna Carta (1215) American Declaration of Independence (1776) Rule of Law Laws exist and all citizens must obey them. The king is not above the law. If the king breaks the law, his vassals can remove him from the throne. King George III has broken the laws and refused rights of colonists; the people therefore "throw off his government of tyranny and reestablish rights under the rule of law. Balance of Power Even though the king is the nation's leader and authority, his vassals have both the right and the responsibility to check or limit his power. The king has demanded that some of his subjects give up the right of representation in legislature. Power of the Purse The king cannot levy any extra taxes "without the common consent of the realm." Without new taxes, the king cannot increase his army and overturn the balance of power by attacking his vassals. The king has imposed taxes on colonists without their consent. Security of Private Property Things that do not belong to the king (land,tools) cannot be taken from their owners without their consent. This agreement not only preserves right of subjects to own property but also stops the king from becoming richer or more powerful by taking property from his subjects. The king has "plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, destroyed the lives of our people." Limited Government There are limits to the powers of both the king and his barons. This idea relates to balance of power. Governments should protect the rights and liberties of citizens. The king has opposed citizens' rights, and liberties. A new nation must be formed to protect them. Due Process of Law Someone who is accused of a crime cannot simply be condemned by the king or his sheriffs. There is a process for hearing both sides of the case and making a fair judgment. The king has refused to agree to laws related to justice; has made some judges dependent on his will. Judgment By One's Peers This idea is the "seed" of our jury system, which guarantees that the guilt or innocence of a citizen accused of a crime will be decided by a jury of his or her peers. The king has deprived many colonial citizens of the benefits of trial by jury.

  11. England had a Civil War • Theory of the divine right of kings: • According to James I speech to Parliament how would you define the divine right of kings? James I to Parliament in 1610: • The state of the monarchy is the supremest thing upon earth: for kings are not only God’s lieutenants upon earth, and sit upon God’s throne, but even by god himself they are called gods. God has power to create or destroy, make or unmake, at his pleasure to give life or send death, to judge all and to be judged. And the like power have kings: they make and unmake their subjects, they have power of raising, and casting down; of life, and of death.
