Magna Carta Libertatum(Latin for "the Great Charter of the Liberties"), is a charter which will later beconsidered as the base of the human rights.

The rule of Law = un Etat de droit
b, '( is it sti%% )o)u%!r tod!-
the Magna Cartawas signed b the !ing after the oulation made him do it in #$#% because he had&iolated the rights. This document lists out what will later be called the human rights. 'ts considered asone of the most imortant udicial documents of modern democrac since it mar!s a huge twist in the*ght to ensure liberties.
"&o free'an shall "e taken or i'prisoned or outlawed or exiled or in anyway destroyed( except "y the
lawful )udge'ent of his peers or "y the law of the land. To no one will we sell( to no one will we deny ordelay right or )ustice.#
'ts still oular toda because a mth was created about the origin of indi&idual rights inEngland

which the mistrusted. This is the root of democratic ractice. The 3rotestant 3arliament in England alied the same logic to roal ower, which the
also mistrusted. The wrote the ill of 5ights as a !ind of contract between
