RULE OF LAW
Powers and privileges of the king are clearly defined and limited; charter provides for enforcement of restrictions placed on the king.
<Chapter 36> explains that if the punishment requires your life or one of your limbs, and you cannot protect yourself with a factor of money involved.
<Chapter 60> Everyone generally gets a lot more freedom, leaving all men to have more rights than they used, this law allowed the men of the very lowest to have the same rights as the men of the very highest (just not power).
<Chapter 63> explains that they want their law to have the English Church to be free, and the men in the kingdom shall have and keep all these liberties, rights, and concessions.
