However, it seems to be directed toward some other post. For instance, nowhere in my post did I refer to the Magna Carta as a "British document." Nor would I.<BR/><BR/>Though certainly not an expert, I am quite familiar with English and Scottish history, as well as their modern government structures. For that reason, I am surprised that you write that the "Scots, (Northern) Irish, and Welsh may never have been taught" about the Magna Carta. What a shame. The document set forth some of the guiding principles for democracy as we know it today. That is why US students study it and why people in the US (as well as many other countries) are so interested in it. It's about rights and liberties. <BR/><BR/>While I certainly enjoyed reading your comments, I'm not sure that they really relate to this post. I wrote about an important and topical historical legal document and where people can go to see copies in person and online. Thanks for your thoughts.Abbie Mulvihillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15880723177103976846noreply@blogger.com
