One of the most important clauses in this document was clause 39. Clause 39 established the principle of rule and law, along with protecting society against arbitrary rule. It allowed everyone the right to judgment by peers and was seen as the first steps towards the jury system. The clause outlined what modern society would see as, essential human rights. Civil war broke out just after King John granted the Magna Carta. The document became essentially dead. It was not until Henry III came into the throne at aged nine, that the document regained surface. Within a couple days into his reign, men of important who were assisting the young king, issued a newer version of the document, in attempt to regain the baron’s support. Once Henry reached the age of 18, he reissued a new, revised version in 1225. In 1297, Edward I enrolled the Magna Carta on the statute book. It was now apart of English law. The Magna Carta is seen as the beginning of the jury system, and still to today, influence
