Trial by jury is the most venerated and venerable institution of Anglo-American law. Although it dates from 1215, it did not come about as a result of Magna Carta, but rather as the consequence of an order by Pope Innocent III (1161–1216). However, Magna Carta’s iconic reference to ‘the lawful judgment of his peers’ as a precondition for loss of liberty has helped in later centuries to entrench the right to jury trial in our pantheon of liberties.Medieval criminal trialsThe original clause 39 of the Great Charter of June 1215 reflected a privilege negotiated by the barons to ensure that their disputes with the King — mainly over land — would be settled after advice from men of their own rank and status. Criminal trials at the time took the form of ‘ordeals’ by fire or by water; supervised by the local priest. God was the judge, and he would ensure that the innocent survived — thus, suspects dunked in ponds were declared guilty if they drowned.

Answer from: chjam265

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION and TRIAL by JURY.

Explanation:

Magna Carta was signed by John Lackland in 1215. It was a restatement of the Charter of Liberties, but fuller and stronger in its provisions. Its 63 clauses protected mainly the rights of the barons and affected the functions of the Great Council.

Magna Carta guaranteed mainly two things: 'NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION' (in clause 12) for which the king could not levy taxes without the consent of the Common Council of the Realm.

In clause 39, it stated that no free man (baron) could be imprisoned or punished 'unless by the lawful judgment of his peers, or the law of the land' which later developed in the TRIAL BY JURY.
