The king signed the Magna Carta under duress. He had the Pope annul it a month or two later. LOL

The king signed the Magna Carta under duress.

Just as did the King, who signed the Treaty Of Paris in 1783, accepting our Declaration of Independence. Of course a Government that comes to terms with an uprising is under duress.

The Crown did get away, in the 1297 republication of Magna Carta, with leaving out the enforcement provisions--as to the Barons raising the country against the Government. There are similar parallels in the way Constitutional Government has been corrupted among these States.
