Happy Magna Carta Day!

Something remarkable happened in Runnymede on June 15, 1215. Read this landmark document via the British Library.  Here's part of it:
No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.
Indeed!
