This volume brings together three foundational documents in the history of English and Western law: the Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, and the Petition of Right. These documents represent key milestones in the struggle for individual liberties and the limitation of royal power. The Magna Carta, originally issued in 1215, established principles of due process and the rule of law. The Bill of Rights, enacted in 1689, further enshrined parliamentary supremacy and protected fundamental rights. The Petition of Right, presented to Charles I in 1628, asserted rights against arbitrary imprisonment and taxation without parliamentary consent, leading to a clash between the Crown and Parliament. This edition also includes Charles I's response to the Petition, along with the Coronation Oath. These documents remain relevant today as touchstones of constitutionalism and continue to inspire movements for justice and freedom around the world.
