Yes, you are correct! The Magna Carta, a historic document signed in 1215, contains several important individual rights. Two of the basic rights guaranteed in the Magna Carta are:
1. Habeas Corpus: "No free man shall be taken or imprisoned or dispossessed or exiled or in any way destroyed, nor will we go upon him nor send upon him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land."
This means that individuals cannot be arrested or detained without a fair trial or lawful judgment. The right to habeas corpus ensures that a person has the right to challenge their detention and be brought before a court of law.
2. Due Process: "To no one will we sell, to no one will we refuse or delay, right or justice."
This guarantees that justice should be administered fairly, without undue delay or refusal. It ensures that individuals have a right to fair treatment, protection of their rights, and access to justice.
To find these specific rights, you can refer to the text of the Magna Carta itself. It is a historical document, so you can find it in books, websites, or even museum archives. Reading and analyzing the original text of the Magna Carta will provide a more accurate understanding of the rights it guarantees.
