The concept of due process is rooted in English common law and expressed in "Magna Carta", Art. 39(1215), whereby the King promised that ’No freeman shall be taken or imprisoned or disseised or exiled or in any way destroyed... except by the legal judgment of his peers or by the law of the land’. This was later interpreted to require trial by jury.  4, record 1, English, - due%20process%20of%20law

"Due process" is an imprecise and elastic term, the meaning of which varies with time and place. Basically, it suggests fundamental fairness and tries to apply that concept to all parts of the criminal process. The breadth of the concept depends upon the subjective view of the American courts, particularly the United States Supreme Court. In the last twenty years "due process" has included protections against self-incrimination, coerced confessions, illegal searches, denial of counsel or jury trial and unregulated eavesdropping. In the American system a judicial finding that law enforcement officials have offended due process will result in a complete exclusion of the impugned evidence and will usually result in the acquittal of the accused.  5, record 1, English, - due%20process%20of%20law

Notion corollaire à celle de la primauté du droit, «q.v.», à savoir que les gouvernements sont tenus de respecter les droits fondamentaux des citoyens et les principes de justice naturelle dans l'application du droit, à défaut de quoi une décision administrative pourra se voir annulée par un tribunal à la demande du citoyen concerné. Les principes de justice naturelle en question sont : (1) le droit du citoyen d'être entendu et, (2) l'obligation pour le tribunal ou l'autorité compétente d'être impartiale, ce qui implique notamment la prohibition de toute forme de discrimination et l'égalité de traitement de tous.  4, record 1, French, - application%20r%C3%A9guli%C3%A8re%20de%20la%20loi

Magna Carta(Latin for "Great Charter", literally "Great Paper"), also called Magna Carta Libertatum("Great Charter of Freedoms"), is an English charter originally issued in 1215. Magna Carta was the most significant early influence on the long historical process that led to the rule of constitutional law today. Magna Carta was originally created because of disagreements between Pope Innocent III, King John and his English barons about the rights of the King. Magna Carta required the king to renounce certain rights, respect certain legal procedures and accept that the will of the king could be bound by law.  1, record 2, English, - Magna%20Carta

La Grande Charte ou Magna Carta est une charte de 63 articles arrachée par le baronnage anglais au roi Jean sans Terre le 15 juin 1215 après une courte guerre civile notamment marquée par la prise de Londres, le 17 mai, par les rebelles. Les barons étaient excédés des exigences militaires et financières du roi et de ses échecs répétés en France à Bouvines et à la Roche-aux-Moines. Ce texte limite l'arbitraire royal et établit en droit l'habeas corpus qui empêche, entre autres, l'emprisonnement arbitraire. Il garantit les droits féodaux, les libertés des villes contre l'arbitraire royal et institue le contrôle de l'impôt par le Grand Conseil du Royaume. L'archevêque de Canterbury, Langton défend ardemment les barons, son nom restant le premier à avoir été apposé en qualité de témoin de la Grande Charte. Lorsque le pape excommunie les barons, Langton refuse de publier l'interdit et est suspendu par le pape.  1, record 2, French, - Magna%20Carta

La Carta Magna ("Gran Carta" en latín), también conocida como Magna Carta Libertatum es un documento inglés de 1215 que limitó el poder de los monarcas de Inglaterra, especialmente el del rey Juan sin Tierra, que la firmó, impidiendo así el ejercicio del poder absoluto. Fue el resultado de los desencuentros entre Juan, el Papa y los nobles ingleses sobre las prerrogativas del soberano. De acuerdo a los términos de la Carta Magna, Juan debía renunciar a ciertos derechos y respetar determinados procedimientos legales, reconociendo que la voluntad del rey estaría sujeta a la ley. Se considera a la Carta Magna como el primer capítulo de un largo proceso histórico que llevaría al surgimiento del constitucionalismo.  2, record 2, Spanish, - Carta%20Magna
