#history #england #magnacarta #law #historical • In 1215, England’s King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta, a landmark document that limited the power of the monarchy and laid the foundation for constitutional law. The Magna Carta established the principle that even the king was subject to the law, a revolutionary idea at the time. It guaranteed certain rights to 'free men,' including protection from arbitrary imprisonment and the right to a fair trial. While many of its clauses were specific to the conflicts of the time, its influence has endured, shaping legal systems around the world and inspiring later documents like the U.S. Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
