About
It is widely regarded as one of the most influential documents in the history of democracy and human rights. The purpose of the Magna Carta was to limit the power of the monarch and protect the rights of the nobles. It established principles such as the rule of law, due process, and the right to a fair trial. It also provided protection against arbitrary arrests and excessive fines. While originally intended for the nobility, the Magna Carta laid the groundwork for future constitutional developments, influencing the concept of individual liberties. Over the centuries, it has been reinterpreted and reissued, and its principles have inspired many democratic movements around the world. The Magna Carta remains an important symbol of the fight for liberty and justice for all.
