How Did The Magna Carta Influence The Feudal System
The Magna Carta was a very influential document that made a mark on the 19th century.The document was signed by King John of England of course after he was basically forced to by the nobles. The Magna Carta was designed by the nobles of that time in order to insure their safety and financial stability.The nobles cared about anyone else under them in the feudal system. The Magna Carta was a foundation of the democratic government present today in the United States. Its could be considered a stepping stone to the United States government. The Magna Carta it was designed to give people in the feudal system more power and rights than they had originally had. It was written mostly for nobles but later went on to give rights to the people
below them. For example in document one, one of the laws it says “No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.” This is one law that still exists today in the United States. This is proof is of peoples willing to “fight” for their rights and liberties or to get what they want. The document is also the beginning of the ideas of a democracy by giving the people rights and limiting the powers of the king. “But implicit in the traditional doctrine that the lord had to respect the rights of his vassals and rule according to good custom was the constitutional principle of government under the law.” This is supporting the statements that the lords and anyone else had to respect the rights of the free men below them. Today people say that the Magna Carta only gave right to the nobles, but the Magna Carta did so much more than that. So,if it just gave power to the nobles doesn’t it still affect the peasants and people below them? It gave people a “bill of rights” and a saved many of peasants money in more than one way. It also eventually gave everyone rights and undoubtedly limited the kings power. The Magna Carta influenced the modern world today but also gave people rights. It made the executive power and was also a turning point in the English history. It also is very symbolistic all around the world today by it shows people they have their own rights. It is a basics of the limiting factor of the kings power. The Magna Carta was a foundation of the democratic government present today in the United States
