“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.” These words, written in the #MagnaCarta in 1215, are a cornerstone of the British constitution. Although most of the clauses of Magna Carta dealt with specific grievances such as property rights and taxation, the 39th clause guaranteeing all free men the right to justice and a fair trial are echoed in many constitutional documents around the world. This video from the British Library explains how the 13th battle between King John and his barons lead to the world's first bill of rights:
Happy #MagnaCarta Day! Today is the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta.

It ends by saying that, without the magna carta we might night have the rights we value today. My question is: do we actually HAVE those rights? We think we do… but do we?
- velmi osvěžující…….. Why is this old piece of parchment considered to be such a powerful symbol of our rights and freedoms? Narrated by Monty Python’s Terry Jones, this animation takes you back to medieval times, when England under the reign of Bad King John. It asks why Magna Carta was originally created and what it meant to those living in the 13th century.

This is completely backwards. The Magna Carta was a document written by Norman barons that helped legally ensure their continued exploitation of the English people. After Matilda defeated King Stephen the monarchical Saxon kings became more powerful against the baron, and feudalism decreased. The Magna Carta was created by Norman Fedual barons to assure their right to maintain the Norman Conquest order. King Johns fight against the barons was more of a fight for the common English people than the Magna Carta ever was. But people don't like to admit that the origins of the rights of man was actually a legal guarantee of the rights of some men to continue to exploit other men.

"The rights we value so much today" really? All I can see is our rights been taken away with little complaint or concern.
Happy birthday, Magna Carta, you Great Charter, you!
So the Roman law system was less fair?
Thank you for the overview– very helpful!
