  1. MAGNA CARTA

  2. 1. In the future no bailiff shall upon his own unsupported accusation place any man on trial without producing credible witnesses to the truth of the accusation.

  3. 2. No free man shall be taken, imprisoned, outlawed, banished, or in any way destroyed, nor will We proceed against or prosecute him, except by the lawful judgement of his equals and by the law of the land.

  4. 3. To no one will We sell, to no one will We deny or delay, right or justice.

  5. 4. We will appoint as justiciaries, constables, sheriffs, or bailiffs only such men as know the law of the realm and will observe it well.

  6. 5. We do give and grant to Our subjects the following security, to wit, that the barons shall elect any twenty-five barons of the realm, who shall, with their utmost power, observe, hold and cause to be observed the peace and liberties which We have granted unto them and by this Our present Charter have confirmed.

  7. 6. Given by Our hand in the meadow which is called Runnymede, between Windsor and Staines, on the fifteenth day of June in the seventeenth year of Our reign.

  8. THE KING JOHN RAP!! King John ruled England in 1215 An unpopular man, lazy and mean. Imagine him pacing his castle’s tall tower Believing he had absolute power. Absolute power. Absolute power. King John believed he had absolute power. John wanted to rule in Poitou in France. He needed much cash to give it a chance; So John taxed his barons to pay for the fight, But the barons said, ‘No! You don’t have the right.’

  9. ‘You don’t have the right!’ ‘You don’t have the right!’ The barons told John, ‘You don’t have the right!’ ‘I’m the king,’ answered John. ‘I can do what I like. I can tax – I can kill – put your head on a spike. I can take all your money, your lands, any hour. I’m the king thanks to God! I have absolute power!’ Absolute power! Absolute power! King John believed he had absolute power!

  10. The barons rebelled to prove they had might. Without their support the king could not fight. Absolute power just wasn’t a starter. The king had to bow to Magna Carta. Bow to the charter! The barons’ great charter! The king had to bow to Magna Carta!
