Magna+Carta

__Basic Principle or Right__ __In the Constitution? Where?__

The source of the writers of the Magna Carta are the people, mostly Barons/nobility, of England because they are getting persecuted by the King.

Essentially, the Magna Carta says that the Barons want to secure their rights within the English law, because they thought the King was lessening their power -- which they thought they deserved more of because they were in the government too. They also wanted to establish that the King is also subject to the law. Also big thing they wanted was the right to a fair trial. They wanted to not be arrested for trials without cause; and if their was cause they wanted their trial.
