Good Lord, what are they teaching the kids in history class these days?
One wonders, especially if you believe the Magna Carta was a revolutionary document or idea. This charter was intended to only resolve the conflict between King John and the Barrons. All it did was compell the King to allow the Barrons (who represented the feudal system, not the people) to provide input to his decisions. The Barrons didn't like the King's taxes, that was the genius of the Magna Carta. Hardly a revolution, simply a document that facilitate the peace between the Barrons and the King. Over time the ideas in Magna Carta came to mean more, but the revolution didn't happen in England.
