The Founding Fathers of the American constitution regarded Magna Carta as a landmark on the road to limited government. 

"It has been several times truly remarked that bills of rights are, in their origin, stipulations between kings and their subjects, abridgements of prerogative in favor of privilege, reservations of rights not surrendered to the prince. Such was Magna Charta obtained by the barons, sword in hand, from King John." 
(Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers) 

The Petition of Rights is related more to natural and constitutional rights.
