    chapter 3
    No Commentary upon Magna Carta has hitherto been written from the standpoint of modern research.

    Construction Construed and Constitutions Vindicated19th Century · English

    English foundational legal document cited as an example of limiting the means of supreme, sovereign power in England.

    where magna charta, the petition of right, and many declaratory laws, had limited its means to a great extent:
    chapter 7
    If this spherical power in the king was sufficient to destroy magna charta, and the old constitution of England;
    chapter 16

    The Genius of the Common Law20th Century · English

    The foundational charter that witnessed and confirmed the historic process of legal reform beginning with Henry II.

    But at this day we can see that the growth of the Chancellor’s equity, and the fixing of it in a model as regular as that of the common law (on which Blackstone again speaks profitably), were really a continuation of the very same historic process which began with Henry II’s reforms and was witnessed and confirmed by the Great Charter.
