Turbines are commonly used to provide engine power. Airplane jet engines and nuclear-powered ships use turbines to propel themselves, and gas turbines have been used to power ships, trains, cars and tanks.
The Document and Its Legacy. Written in Latin, the Magna Carta (or Great Charter) was effectively the first written constitution in European history. Of its 63 clauses, many concerned the various property rights of barons and other powerful citizens, suggesting the limited intentions of the framers.
Magna Carta, which means âThe Great Charterâ, is one of the most important documents in history as it established the principle that everyone is subject to the law, even the king, and guarantees the rights of individuals, the right to justice and the right to a fair trial. 1  King John signing the Magna Carta.
