You still don’t understand the difference between being UNDER English common law, and the idea that English common law provided the common terminology the Founders were familiar with for writing law.

Pity. But if you can’t handle a simple concept like that, then discussion of law isn’t possible with you.

It is a pretty basic concept.

Oh, I understand the difference; but considering just how much of that terminology was inspired or impacted by the Magna Carta you’re putting yourself on VERY thin ice to say that it isn’t, in any measure, applicable. Especially since one could argue that the Magna Carta is a sort of parent document (in ideas & applications) to the Constitution.
