McKechnie’s work brings the Magna Carta to life, exploring its legal implications, historical context, and lasting influence on democratic principles worldwide.

      Description

      In Magna Carta: A Commentary on the Great Charter of King John, McKechnie explains the political and legal complexities surrounding the creation of the Magna Carta in 1215. He delves into the power struggles between King John and his barons, illustrating how the Charter served as a turning point in limiting royal authority.

By blending historical narrative with legal analysis, McKechnie provides a nuanced perspective that shows why the Magna Carta remains a cornerstone of Western political thought.
