Answer: It influenced emphasis on the protection of natural rights during the creation of the constitution. This influence began the introduction of several legal concepts and the formation of a habeas corpus petition. Also acted as an early reference for the checks and balances system seeing as the Magna Carta originally established a council of barons as predecessors to parliament.
