7. The Magna Carta
The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, is often hailed as the foundation of modern liberty and constitutional law. This historic English charter established the principle that no one, not even the king, is above the law. Its influence can be seen in documents like the U.S. Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Magna Carta’s legacy endures as a symbol of justice, rights, and the rule of law.
