The First Magna Carta

Good morning, I'm Fernando Vintimilla presenting the interdisciplinary English project, I hope you like it, thank you very much.

In the following work we are going to know everything related to the Magna Carta, its relationship with citizenship, its religious and philosophical association and the role of women as a political individual.

To begin we are going to know the meaning of "Magna Carta", a Magna Carta or Constitution is a normative text in which the general skills to establish life in society and the functioning of the state are presented. Thus, it is a general legal framework that should guide the set of laws of a nation.

The Constitution of Ecuador of 1830 is the starting point of the origin of the Republic of Ecuador, which had previously been known as the Kingdom of Quito, the Royal Court of Quito and the Southern District of Colombia, it was the first political constitution to be in force since the creation of the State of Ecuador as an autonomous country

It all began on May 13, 1830, the first Magna Carta promulgated in Riobamba to reaffirm a democratic and alternative state, however, only married literate men of any age or single men over 22 years old who possess more than 300 pesos or a profession could not vote. Servilely, the Indians had no voice or vote, they remained under the tutelage of the parish priests so they had no participation in voting and the blacks were slaves on estates and mines of the same notables who made the constitution.

The church had more power with the first letter, since it is the one that has the most weight when making decisions.

And in itself women did not have as much participation since at that time they did not have the same rights that they have today.

The first Magna Carta established who exercises the Legislative, Executive and Judicial functions. Also, it explains how the representatives of these functions are elected. It also indicates the process or procedure that a project follows until it becomes law. According to the first Constitution, the functions of the new Ecuadorian State are: Legislative, Executive, Judicial, and Electoral.

After five years of validity, the 1830 constitution ceased to be useful for the country, since it ceased to aspire to Colombian integration and sought total sovereignty without adhering to any other state. This is why, in the city of Ambato, the National Convention met in 1835. Said convention drew up a new constitutional text, leaving the State of Ecuador behind and founding the Republic of Ecuador. The convention also elected Vicente Rocafuerte from Guayaquil as "President of the Republic" and Juan Bernardo León y Cevallos from Rio de Janeiro as "Vice President of the Republic." The new constitution was sanctioned by the Convention on July 30 and was promulgated on August 13.

My conclusion would be that the first magna carta had an important participation and impact due to the fact of being the first, with its positive aspects but with more negative aspects since it did not benefit everyone, only a certain group of people, so in my opinion it does not It was the right thing to do but we must accept that they were other times in which they thought differently, so we only have to see what they did in the past because it cannot be changed.

This has been my video on the first Magna Carta, I hope you liked it, thank you.
