I'm not a fan. It was a bad document. It was a power grab by dukes and barons. What hideous crime had John committed? He started a court in which commoners could sue their lords for mistreatment and get heard by the king. And another thing, the phrase "jury of your peers"? Yeah, that's from the magna carta (it's nowhere in the US Constitution, incidentally), and it was meant as a guarantee that only nobles could be on a jury of another noble. Wouldn't want those peasants having any say in it...
