2015 marks the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta's creation.
In an essay in the Guardian, Professor Carpenter considers the relevance of this 13th-century document that asserted a fundamental principle – the rule of law.
A translation with new commentary by Professor Carpenter has been published by Penguin Classics.
