Just the story of this "Great Charter" is fascinating in itself as a prologue to repetition in history. An overweaning ruler over-extends and is forced to permit his opposition to restrain him. Later he repudiates the restrictions but the effort ultimately fails with his death.
This Magna Carta came into existence as an expedient document full of compromise to assuage the current conflict. That it still speaks to us today as the first restraint to absolute power 797 years later is one of the glories of our history!
Happy 237th Birthday to the US Army and Flag Day for the Star Spangled Banner!
