Washington
County Bar Association Law Day Scholarship
The
Magna Carta was an attempt to limit the power of the Crown. Though not the first, it was the most
successful. Over the course of the next
800 years, the idea of the Magna Carta gathered momentum and the ideas of liberty
and justice became more and more important.
The concepts of liberty and justice kept monarchs and governments in
check over the course of time.
In
