What 13th century document can the origins of the American Bill of Rights be traced back to?

The origins of the American Bill of Rights can be traced back to the Magna Carta, a 13th-century document signed in 1215. This foundational charter established the principle that everyone, including the king, is subject to the law and laid the groundwork for individual rights and liberties. Its emphasis on due process and limitations on governmental power influenced later documents, including the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights. The Magna Carta's legacy continues to be felt in modern legal systems and democratic governance.
