Amost 800 years ago!

Feudal Lords & Barons demanded King John (of England) sign it

Recognized that NOBODY is above the Law

That Law is sovereign – even over Kings (and leaders)

Everybody deserves a trial among peers

The beginning of having a jury, with evidence brought forward in a timely manner

Literally “Show me the Body!” of evidence -Habeus Corpus

The beginning of the “Rule of Law”
