2015 20c 800th Anniversary of The Magna Carta PNC

Magna Carta (or Great Charter) is a charter of human rights. It is a foundation stone of constitutional and parliamentary democratic government in Britain and in countries that have adopted British law, including Australia. It stated that no one in society is above the law: not the king nor his subjects, not the government nor the governed. It affirmed that authority should be subject to law arising from the community itself. The 1215 Magna Carta was followed by several other versions, including the 1297 reissue by King Edward I. Only four copies of the 1297 version are in existence
