    Observance of Due Process of Law 1368

    Uploaded by

    Minister
    This document summarizes legislation from 1368 called the Observance of due Process of Law. The legislation established that no person shall be compelled to answer for accusations without due process of law, as false accusations were sometimes being made more for revenge or personal gain rather than for the king or people. The legislation assented that no person shall be put to answer without a presentment made before justices, a matter of record, or by original writ and process according to the old laws of the land. Any actions taken contrary to this would be considered void under law and in error.
