"The Magna Carta: Cornerstone of the Constitution" by Roberta Baxter explores the historical significance of the Magna Carta and its lasting impact on constitutional law. This accessible narrative delves into the events of 1215, when rebellious barons confronted King John of England, demanding the limitation of royal authority and the establishment of legal rights. Baxter examines how this pivotal document laid the groundwork for modern democracy, influencing not only English law but also shaping the constitutions of various nations. Through engaging storytelling, readers gain insight into the principles of justice and liberty that continue to resonate in contemporary governance.
