Australian Financial Review – King John signed the Magna Carta in 1215 and its relevance reverberates today

“Thank goodness Magna Carta was not forgotten. Of its many enduring benefits, nothing is more important than establishing the rule of law. The fact that King John was prepared to concede – if only briefly – that he was no longer above the rule of law was truly revolutionary. This principle has been fundamental in generating trust in society – that people and their property will be treated equally, and on a consistent, legal basis. In a very real sense, the origins of trust in modern society date to this time.”
