I am going to explore how people interpreted, reinterpreted, or even distorted various clauses of Magna Carta using them for their own purposes from the reign of Edward I up to the end of the seventeenth century. Moreover, I intend to highlight what other important events and documents – besides Magna Carta, the ancient contract – contributed to the decrease of the monarch’s power and to the creation of the British constitution.61enlawBritainparliamentsystem of governmentdiplomamunkaDEENK Témalista::Történelemtudomány::Egyetemes történetip
