I tried my best, hope this helps (:

The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, established that everyone, including the king, is subject to the law, also known as the principle of the rule of law which is a fundamental principle of modern constitutional government.

The Articles of Confederation, adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777 and went into effect in 1781, established a confederation of independent states, rather than a centralized government with a strong executive branch. It drew inspiration from the Magna Carta, such as the principle of the rule of law, the idea of limited government and representation, which were reflected in the preamble, the powers of the central government and the congress of representatives from the states. The Bill of Rights also drew inspiration from the Magna Carta in terms of individual rights and protections from government infringement. However, it was later found to be not effective enough, leading to the drafting of the current US Constitution.
