Magna Carta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (8240 words) |
 | Clauses 36 to 38 state that writs for loss of life or limb are to be free, that someone may use reasonable force to secure their own land and that no one can be tried on their own testimony alone. |
| But later in the reign, the Lord Treasurer stated in the Star Chamber that many had lost their lives in the Baronial wars fighting for the liberties, which were guaranteed by The Charter, and therefore it should not so easily be overlooked as a simple and regular statute. |
| Welwyn, another leader of the movement advocated natural law and other doctrines as the primary principles of the movement, this was mainly because of the obvious intention of The Charter was to grant rights only to the Barons and the episcopacy, and not the general and equalitarian rights the Levellers were claiming. |
