Commentary

The Magna Carta is the foundation of freedom in the West. It said plainly that the sovereign does not have absolute power. Others have rights too that cannot be abrogated by decree. That’s a radical statement in the history of humanity, one that unfolded in time to become the freedoms we believe are essential in political life.
