Are you ready to time travel?
2015 marks the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, a document created to limit the powers of King John of England and his successors in 1215.
Today, Magna Carta and its four key principles continue to influence and inspire the governments of English-speaking countries around the world, including the United States and Canada.
We explore Magna Carta and its long legacy with Carolyn Harris, author of Magna Carta and Its Gifts to Canada: Democracy, Law, and Human Rights.
