This lead to the phrase "innocent until proven guilty". in the court of law, the accusers should the one that provide the proof of their accusation. The law enforcement had a list of responsibilities that it need to maintain for the accused (such as maintaining their reputation, provided fair hearings, conduct a non biased investigation)

The principle of self-government was initiated by the people in the mayflower ships because they do not want to fully controlled by the another government.

This concept of self-government is what lead to united states consist of 50 regions that have their own autonomy.

The creation of magna charta highlight how the powers of the monarch mean nothing if the citizens unite and choose to oppose them.
