Your primary sources do nothing but support my assertion that the Magna Carta was not a revolution when it was written. In England it supported the feudal system, only over time did its ideas manifest into a representative government. The idea itself is not the revolution it is the catalyst. It isn't a revolution until it happens, so a hat tip to our revolutionary founders.Never did buy into that 'new history' foolishness. Let's chase some secondary and primary sources instead and see for ourselves.
I seem to recall ideas of democracy and Republics dating back to Greece and Rome? Utopia is also a radical idea, but it led to a revolution where?
I agree with you the ideas in the Magna Carta were fundamental to our revolution, but the revolution that actualized those ideas did not happen in the 13th Century.
