Question

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 judgment of his equals or by the law of the land. —Magna Carta, 1215

What best identifies a similar principle as it appears in the US government?


A the separation of powers designed in the Constitution

B due process protections as provided in the Constitution

C judicial review as established in the Marbury vs. Madison decision

D the belief in human equality as stated in the Declaration of Independence

Answer 1

B) due process protections as provided in the Constitution

Step-by-step explanation:

The most similar principle to the one stated in the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta, which was a charter of rights agreed to by King John of England in 1215, established the principle that no one, including the king, was above the law and that individuals had certain rights that the government could not take away. This principle is similar to the due process protections provided in the Constitution, which guarantee that the government must respect the legal rights of individuals and cannot deprive them of life, liberty, or property without fair and just procedures.
