Moulding
Tradition
The
Magna
Carta
Is
described
as
moulding
to
a
considerable
degree
the
traditions,
laws
and
culture
of
the
Anglo-Saxon
race.
The
Magna
Carta
was
a
fundamental
Instrument
of
law
and
the
fore-runner
of
civil
liberty.
While
Its
importance
was
enormously
magnified
In
later
ages,
the
Oreat
Charter
granted
by
King
John
at
Runnymede
In
1215
differs
only
In
degree,
not
In
kind,
from
other
charters
granted
by
the
Norman
and
early
Plantagenet
Kings.
Its
greater
length,
however,
and
the
exceptional
circumstances
attending
its
birth,
gave
to
it
a
po
sition
absoluely
unique
In
the
minds
of
later
generations
of
Englishmen.
This
feeling
was
fostered
by
Its
many
confirmations
and
In
subsequent
ages,
especially
during
the
struggle
between
the
Stewart
Kings
and
the
parliament,
it
was
regarded
as
something
sacrosant,
embodying
the
very
Ideal
of
English
liberties,
which
to
some
extent
had
been
lost
but
which
must
be
regained.
Tho
Oreat
Charter
declared
the
English
Church
must
be
free
and
shall
enjoy
the
freedom
of
election;
sets
forth
a
number
of
restraints
against
the
king
raising
money
by
the
harsh
and
arbitrary
methods
hitherto
adopted;
redressed
many
grievances
and
abuses
in
the
administration
of
Justice;
dealt
with
the
grievances
of
Welshmen
and
provided
for
execution
of
royal
promises
by
setting
up
a
committee
of
25
barons.
