This clear, engaging history of the Magna Carta—“one of the most important and influential writings in history”—also explains the document’:s impact on the framers of the United States Constitution. The book begins with an account of King John’s disputes with his barons in 1215, then describes the barons’ demands for rights, which the king accepted and were published as the Magna Carta. The interpretation of the Magna Carta by Edward Coke, a seventeenth-century British judge and champion for individual rights, later provided the basis for much of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. Clear writing is augmented by fact bubbles, illustrations, and reproductions of historical documents. Includes a time line, glossary, suggested reading and Web sites, and an index.
