Answer:

"No free man should be seized or detained, or stripped of his rights or belonging, or outlawed or banished, or denied of his standing in any other way, nor will we continue with constrain against him, or send others to do so, but by the lawful judgment of his rises to or by the law of the land. ... To no one will we offer, to no one deny or delay right or equity."

Step-by-step explanation:

The given text is taken from Magna Carta, Clause 39. The Magna Carta was signed by King John in 1215. This document is a prominent symbol of justice, fairness, and human rights.

Clause 39 of the Carta ensures fair judgment, trial, and imprisonment, and as per the law. Before this under the corruption of King John, many unfair imprisonment and sentencing have been done, so to eliminate unlawful practices by the monarchy, this document was enacted into the law.

The correct paraphrasing of the text has been provided above.
