The “Magna Carta”, 1297 is widely viewed as one of the most important legal documents in the history of democracy. Magna Carta is a charter of ancient liberties guaranteed by an English king to his subjects. Magna Carta has influenced international law as well: Eleanor Roosevelt referred to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as "a Magna Carta for all mankind". Magna Carta is thought to be the crucial turning point in the struggle to establish freedom and a key element in the transformation of constitutional thinking throughout the world. When Englishmen left their homeland to establish colonies in the New World, they brought with them charters guaranteeing that they and their heirs would "have and enjoy all liberties and immunities of free and natural subjects." Many later attempts to draft constitutional forms of government, including the United States Constitution, trace their lineage back to this source document.
This reaffirmation of a supreme law and its expression in a general charter is the great work of Magna Carta; and this alone justifies the respect in which men have held it. --Winston Churchill, 1956
