nothing in our time now.

IT SHAPED THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT!!! COMPARE THE CLAUSES OF MC AND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE US

Ans. 3

There were a number of effects of Magna Carta during the 13th century, but the question asks "What are the effects". There is one aspect of Magna Carta which echos down the centuries, and touches our lives today.

The King must obey the law. To us this seems obvious, self-evident. To the people of 1215 it was anything but. Prior to Magna Carta the king could do whatever he wanted; the very idea that perhaps he couldn't was stunning. This was the first little step towards democracy as we understand it today, and until that little step was taken no progress towards democracy was possible.

Depends on who "us" is. If you are a UK citizen: the Magna Carta is still formally part of Britain's body of laws. If you are from another Western country: it served as an example to many other countries in restraining the absolute power of the King, in the principle of 'no taxation without representation' and in the accountability of public servants.
