Exercise 28 Translate the following passage into English. Великая хартия вольностей Великая хартия вольностей — это грамота, подписанная в 1215 году английским королем Иоанном I. Она составлена на латинском языке и содержит 63 статьи. Король был вынужден подписать этот документ как результат недовольства баронов усилением королевской власти, налоговым гнетом (burden) и неудачей внешней политики короля. Большинство статей отражало и защищало интересы аристократии. Однако другие сословия также получили значительные права. Великая хартия вольностей гарантировала соблюдение королем определенных обязательств по отношению к баронам и запрещала королю взимать налоги без согласия подданных. Хартия положила начало свободе личности. Ни один человек не мог быть арестован, заключен в тюрьму, лишен собственности или покровительства законов, изгнан или подвергнут иному наказанию иначе, как согласно законам страны. Это был первый в истории Англии документ, ограничивавший власть короны и провозглашавший права и свободы подданных. Он сыграл важнейшую роль в английской истории и по сей день входит в число действующих актов конституции Великобритании.
