Gives good emphasis on the impact the Magna Carta had on modern democracy.

This site has a lot of information on the Magna Carta!!

Following a revolt by the English nobility against his rule, King John puts his royal seal on the Magna Carta, or "Great Charter." The document, essentially a peace treaty between John and his barons, guaranteed that the king would respect feudal rights and privileges, uphold the freedom of the church, and maintain the nation's laws.
