There are a lot of popular misconceptions about the Magna Carta. It wasn’t really the precursor to the Bill of Rights, it was more in the nature of a fight among the Board of Directors of a corporation.

Magna Carta was a living embodiment of the Jeffersonian concept of the purpose & origins of legitimate Government, and the right to rise against Government that violated those purposes, as set forth in the preamble to the Declaration of Independence.

It’s the precursor to the Constitution: a contract.
Once government is defined by contract anything is possible, though (democratic) feudalism is the nearly universal selection.

I think the overlooked truth is that Magna Carta for the first time ever acknowledged that the King - hitherto placed on the throne by the Grace of God - was answerable to the Law like any man. That was revolutionary, no?
