Detailed explanation-1: -The Magna Carta (1215) In 1215, after King John of England infringed a number of olden laws and customs by which England had been ruled, his subjects compelled him to sign the Magna Carta, which set forth what later came to be known as human rights.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1689, Parliament passed the English Bill of Rights, which, like Magna Carta, established regulations limiting the monarch’s power and safeguarding the people’s individual rights. The Bill was a turning point in British political history since it limited the monarch’s authority while establishing Parliament’s rights.
Detailed explanation-3: -The major differences between the two documents is that the Magna Carta addressed the issues that the barons were dealing with during that time such as trials and crimes, and it didn’t seek out to grant any rights to the public overall as the English Bill of Rights had.
Detailed explanation-4: -Its purpose was to protect the nobility from the King, and for the King to appease the barons and end the civil war.
