English Legal Practices
• Today’s trial by jury came from medieval Europe– In medieval England the jury provided the
evidence and the judge would determine if guilty– In America, the jury hears the evidence and
decides if guilty• Henry II set up common law which was
uniform laws for all of England

• England set limits on the power of the king• The document is called the Magna Carta, which
means “Great Charter”• During Edward I Parliament was set up– Started out as advisors to the king– House of Lords were the nobles– House of Commons were the knights and leading citizens– Parliament later could approve new taxes this power was
called “power of the purse”
