In this contribution to the ongoing debate over the origins of constitutionalism and free government, Sandoz brings together a selection of scholars to present a reevaluation of the place of Magna Carta and Ancient Constitution in the tradition of Anglo-American liberty and rule of law. The book offers insights into the development of English ideas of liberty and the relationship those ideas hold to modern conceptions of rule of law.
