Magna Carta
The Magna Carta established that everyone, even kings, is subject to the law. It was a direct response by the English medieval King John (1199-1216) to a political crisis. The document underpins Britain’s (unwritten) constitution.
Although it has been put to many uses since it was first drafted, it enshrines the idea that power should not be used arbitrarily against a people. The Magna Carta is often cited as the key building block of democracy and one of its most vital foundational documents.
“No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice.”
