Scott 1265 - Giori Press
By 1215, thanks to years of unsuccessful foreign policies and heavy taxation demands, England’s King John was facing down a possible rebellion by the country’s powerful barons. Under duress, he agreed to a charter of liberties known as the Magna Carta that would place him and all of England’s future sovereigns within a rule of law. It eventually served as the foundation for the English system of common law. The Founding Fathers of the United States of America, who in 1776 looked to this charter as a historical precedent for asserting their liberty from the English crown.
