    Some of the promises made by


    King John in the Magna Carta.

    Before I make the people pay taxes, I will


    ask the advice of the lords in my council.
    No free man may be arrested or put in
    prison unless other free men decide that
    he is guilty, and unless he has a proper
    trial.

    Judges will not be allowed to take bribes.

    People found guilty in court will not have


    to pay bigger fines than they can afford.
    Barons will be fined only if the other
    barons say they are guilty.

    The king must not interfere with the Church.
