Now PlayingIn 1215, English barons rode to Runnymede and made King John put his seal on a document. Magna Carta, the Great Charter, limited royal power and established the principle that no one, not even a king, stood above the law. Most of it was repealed, but three clauses survive in English law to this day, and the document shaped every constitution that came after it. In this video, we read the source and trace why a failed feudal bargain became the foundation of Western liberty.
