Magna Carta

John: Hey Jen. Can I ask you some things about the Magna Carta?

Jen: Sure thing.

John: Okay, what did it state?

Jen: Mainly the rights of Barons, the 4^th and 5^th amendments, and Miranda rights.

John: Is there anything else?

Jen: Oh, hah yes there is actually now that I think about it. It talks about how the king must obey the laws too.

John: That’s a good thing hahah.

Jen: Hah, yes it is. And it talks about due process of law. That’s a biggy. That’s all about the rules the government must follow for a fair and impartial trial.

John: Meaning?

Jen: Like trial by jury, you must face your accuser, and like I said earlier, The 4^th and 5^th amendments and the Miranda rights.

John: Ohhh, okay. Anything else I need to know?

Jen: Well the king agrees to not raise new taxes without going to the Grand Consul of Lords.

John: Cool. Is that basically it?

Jen: Pretty much, unless you want to know all the people that signed it. Hahah.

John: Nah, Im good. Thanks though.

Jen: No problem!
