what was signifficant about he magna carta and. the english bill of rights in the political history of england

Regarding the Magna Carta, it was a document that stated everyone is to be held accountable for their crimes-even the King-which is I believe the first time in English history that the king didn't have absolute power and that everyone had a right to a fair trial. The English bill of rights was similar because it limited the power of the king/queen and gave people more freedom of speech. The bill of rights was passed on December 16, 1689 and the Magna Carta was signed and sealed on June 15, 1215.
