Re: The "This is what I've learned today." Thread
Today I --->LEARNED<--- about the 1215 Magna Carta. I read about it's history and it's impact in judicial review / habeas corpus. The politics of the monarch King John II and his barons I found to be mighty interesting. And even more especially the future relationships between the Magna Carta adoring Jurist Edward Coke and Queen Elisabeth / the Parliament. He publicly acclaimed the document throughout his life, but allowed her decisions to override his beliefs. An interesting fellow.
I found it strange that it is so barely mentioned in US classrooms...
No, I don't.
