The Magna Carta
Magna Carta, 1297: Widely viewed as one
of the most important legal documents in the history of democracy. On display in the West Rotunda Gallery at the National
Archives. Presented courtesy of David M. Rubenstein.

"The democratic aspiration is no mere recent phase in human history . . . It was written in Magna Carta."
--Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 1941 Inaugural
address
Inspiration for Americans
During the American Revolution, Magna Carta served to inspire
and justify action in liberty’s defense. The colonists believed they were
entitled to the same rights as Englishmen, rights guaranteed in Magna Carta.
They embedded those rights into the laws of their states and later into the
Constitution and Bill of Rights.
The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution ("no person shall . .
. be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.") is a
direct descendent of Magna Carta's guarantee of proceedings according to the
"law of the land."
