Archivist Discovers Lost 800-Year-Old Copy of the Magna Carta in Old Scrapbook | TheBlaze.com

Archivist Discovers Lost 800-Year-Old Copy of the Magna Carta in Old Scrapbook | TheBlaze.com:

"The Magna Carta outlined such principles as the right to a fair trial, limited taxation and the idea that no one, not even the king of England, was above the law. Historians believe that about 250 copies of the document were issued by the king to ensure the ideas were disseminated and carried out; between 17 to 24 are thought to still exist today."
