The "Magna Carta" states "FIRST, THAT WE HAVE GRANTED TO GOD,...that the English Church shall be free, and shall have its rights undiminished, and its liberties unimpaired." (Magna Carta) Just from that first section of the Magna Carta it talks about the separation of church and government and basically tells all who are listed that to have those combined is illogical and unacceptable. The Overall idea is that Royalty must be held accountable for their own doings just as the people are. Parliament then becomes an idea to balance the power of the royal family. The "English Bill of Rights", contains the same ideas in the fact that Parliament is now in place to balance the powers of the Kings and Queens. Some new add-ons that are formed in the "English Bill of Rights" is that how the subjects (common folk) now have the right to petition the king, own arms to defend themselves, and freedom of speech in debates, but only for parliament
