Magna Carta

The Anti-Federalist, Brutus, argues “...their Magna Carta and bill of rights have long been the boast as well as the security of that nation.” However, in the words of Hamilton, a bill of rights is unnecessary because the English Bill of Rights protects them from an uncontrollable monarch.

power of American Government rests with the people of the United States. However, the American government did not emerge fully formed into the democracy we know today. The origins of American government can be traced as far back as 1215 and the Magna Carta. Many important influential documents have influenced the making of the US Constitution. Three such documents include the English Bill of Rights, Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s The Social Contract, and John Locke’s Two Treatises of Government.…

Christianity became a supranational form of governance as it dictated social structures and laws. One of the largest examples of this was the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta, also known as the Great Charter, was a “treaty between the king, the clergy, the barons, and the townspeople of England (that) accepted royal authority” (Pavlac, 153).
