Why the Magna Carta was important to the History of America

A document signed by an English King in 1215

Why the Magna Carta was important to the history of America? 

The Magna Carta is considered the founding document of English liberties and hence American liberties. 

The influence of Magna Carta can be seen in the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Article 21 from the Declaration of Rights in the Maryland Constitution of 1776 reads:

"That no freeman ought to be taken, or imprisoned, or disseized of his freehold, liberties, or privileges, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any manner destroyed, or deprived of his life, liberty, or property, but by the judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land."
