C. The Magna Carta

The Magna Carta, or "Great Charter," affirmed that everyone is subject to the law - - even the king. It was an agreement between King John and the nobility in 1215, but provided instrumental founding principles for the wider establishment of rights for all citizens in the centuries following - - including the rights guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States.
