CLAUSES 39 AND 40 OF MAGNA CARTA 1215

We need to consider... will Magna Carta bring peace and freedom?
Why don’t you start by exploring the document and reading the transcript...
x

(39) No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or
possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way
except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.

(40) To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice

Transcript

Matthew says


Here the barons seem to be asking for the basic rights of individuals and for
fair and honest justice. But does this mean for the whole population or does
this clause only apply to rich and powerful people like them?


MAGNA CARTA JUNE 1215
CLAUSES 39 AND 40

Salisbury Cathedral


TEST YOUR UNDERSTANDING




WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING ‘LAWFUL JUDGEMENT’ UPON A FREE MAN?

The barons The King His equals

That's the wrong answer... Why don't you study the clause once again, and listen
to the transcript?

Excellent, excellent! Yes, the answer is his equals.


WILL MAGNA CARTA BRING PEACE AND FREEDOM?

 * Is Magna Carta simply a collection of complaints and grumbles by the barons
   which will only have benefits for them?
 * Is Magna Carta more than this? Is it an important statement of key principles
   about how the king can rule and will have benefits for everyone in England?
 * Will this document be long lasting and bring about peace and freedom, or will
   King John will find a way out of it?
