Historical Research : The Bulletin of the Institute of Historical Research, 89(246), 636-650. "Churchmen supported Magna Carta for a number of reasons.

The Human Rights act was developed off thoughts of the Bill of Rights. This act made it so the European Convention on Human Rights stayed intact. This means that the people were fighting so that our basic human rights cannot be taken away from by the government. This was controversial because many people did not want our old policies to change, but they fought on a political and principal standpoints and were able to get this act to pass.

During the French Revolution, many people weren't happy with their standpoints. During this time people thought the church was the source of corruption. They were not happy with the church taxing them so they sought for reform. Near the end of the French Revolution, Napoleon and many others overthrew the government.
However, they resurfaced later in the nineteenth century and ultimately played a decisive role in the development of the church's attitudes toward modern culture, for they carved a path for Catholics to fight secularization from within and to reshape modernity accordingly.
