Books with title Magna carta,

"In 1215, a historic document known as the Magna Carta was signed, setting limits on how the monarchs of England could rule. While much of that document dealt with the era's power struggle between the king and the nobility, some of its clauses became the foundations for unprecedented legal concepts. This middle school-level title explores the history and circumstances of England's ""Great Charter."" A textual analysis of the Magna Carta explains its basic tenets, relating each to ideas held by the Founding Fathers and central to American politics to this day.
