Thinking about the definitions of Revolutionary discussed earlier, do you think the Magna Carta played a role in the thinking of our founding fathers? If so, how?

Yes, the Magna Carta was likely though of by our founding fathers because its was a large step twoards democracy. The document stated that the King of England was not above the law; the king now had legal restrictions on his power. It also guarantees a free trial which the founding fathers implemented in United States.
