Legal Rights: Habeas Corpus and Due Process
Legal Rights: Habeas Corpus and Due Process is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 5: Developing Democratic Ideas in Pengi Social Studies (Grade 7).
Key Concepts
The legal principles in the Magna Carta evolved into Common Law . Key among these was Habeas Corpus ("you shall have the body"), which prevents the government from holding a person in secret without charging them with a crime.
It also established Due Process , meaning a person cannot be punished without a fair trial by a jury of their peers. These rights shifted power away from the whim of a ruler to a predictable legal system, a concept that the American colonists would later include in the U.S. Constitution.
