Magna Carta originals united for 800th anniversary
The four surviving original Magna Carta copies went on display together Monday for the first time as Britain marks the 800th anniversary of a manuscript which has defined rights and liberties around the world. Considered the cornerstone of freedom, modern democracy, justice and the rule of law, the English charter forms the basis for legal systems across the globe, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the US constitution. In June 1215, the despotic king John accepted the demands of rebellious barons to curb his powers and agreed the charter at Runnymede, a meadow by the River Thames west of London. At the British Library in London, the two priceless originals held by the institution were joined by those from Lincoln and Salisbury Cathedrals for a unification event this week that few will get to witness.
