The American document most influenced by the Magna Carta is the United States Constitution, particularly in its emphasis on the rule of law, individual rights, and limited government. The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, established principles such as due process and the idea that the monarch was not above the law. These concepts were foundational for the framers of the Constitution as they sought to create a government that protected citizens' rights and liberties against tyranny. The Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution, further enshrined these individual freedoms.
