How did the Magna Carta influence the concept of due process?

The Magna Carta influenced the concept of due process by establishing the principle that no one should be deprived of life, liberty, or property without a fair and lawful process. It introduced the idea that individuals have the right to a trial by jury and protection against arbitrary arrests and punishments. This laid the foundation for the development of modern legal systems and the protection of individual rights.
