Magna Carta is just a small part of what we owe to our British heritage. Also English Common Law, trial by jury, and many of the other rights Americans take for granted.

Americans should remember that their founding fathers were really fighting for what they believed were their rights as Englishmen.

How very true - we were remiss in not allowing englishmen the same rights in the colonies that were enshrined at home and we paid the price.
