- The fundamental rights and principles established in the Magna Carta is a trail by jury and due process of law protection against the arbitrary taking of life liberty or property and that the power of the monarchy was not absolute.

- The Petition of Right limited the king's power.

- The English Bill of Rights prohibited a standing army in peacetime; it also included guarantees as the right fair trail and freedom from excessive bail.
