Magna Carta

In the year 1215, on a meadow called Runnymede, a pivotal moment in history unfolded. King John of England, facing pressure from rebellious barons, reluctantly affixed his seal to a document that would change the course of democracy forever: the Magna Carta. This "Great Charter" laid the foundation for individual rights and the concept that no one, not even the monarch, was above the law. Though its immediate impact was limited, the Magna Carta's principles echoed through the centuries, influencing constitutions and legal systems worldwide. Join us as we explore this cornerstone of liberty, its far-reaching consequences, and how its ideals continue to shape our understanding of justice and governance today.
