Magna Carta "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, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice."
WHAT IS MAGNA CARTA
The Magna Carta is a document made to make peace in 1215 during a political dilemma.
The Magna Carta contains 63 clauses that were created to make everyone part of law and giving everyone equal rights except for serfs and slaves.
The serfs and slaves were not happy of their rights being deducted from the Magna Carta. This caused many uprisings by the serfs and slaves.
THE CLAUSE FROM THE MAGNA CARTA
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, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice.
OUR EXPLANATION OF THE CLAUSE MEANING
Our group thought that this clause meant that any man, free of any slavery duties, had the right not to be sent to jail or sentenced a punishment without having a chance to prove the accusation wrong. Any free man would not get assaulted by the accuser or by men the accuser may have sent unless it had been proved that the man had committed the crime and everyone agreed to the punishment in a royal courtroom. No man would be sold and no man would be deprived of his right of immediate justice.
