Describe the democratic ideas seen in the Magna Carta.

Answer:The Museum is the exhibition's first stop on an exclusive six-month Canadian tour marking the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta (Latin for Great Charter), which laid the foundation for modern democratic life. The Magna Carta expresses four key principles: that no one is above the law, not even the monarch; that no one can be detained without cause or evidence; that everyone has a right to trial by jury; and that a widow cannot be forced to marry and give up her property - a major first step in women's rights.
