1215 CE
Magna Carta: settlement and reissues
Law & constitutions · Carta, procedimiento y gobierno
John sealed Magna Carta in 1215 amid conflict with barons; the initial text did not settle the dispute and was reissued, revised, and eventually incorporated into English statute law. Its mechanisms addressed royal government, lordship, and procedural guarantees in their context, not already-realized universal rights.
