I have mixed feelings about the Magna Carta. On the one hand it gave us a good blueprint for our system of government.

OTOH, it removed crimes against individuals. Crime is now a violation against the state. Victims do not prosecute crimes against themselves. They must trust, and await justice from, the state.

You do have civil law to redress individual wrongs or to recover damages.

Criminal law basically says a crime against one is a crime against all.
