Also, the restriction of the rights of the monarch didn't apply to Scotland, as we had a different monarchy, and were a separate country until 1707. It wouldn't be included in Scottish history lessons, as it's actually medieval English history. Sort of equivalent to the chances of a Canadian historical document being taught to US students! <BR/><BR/>The references to it being a British document are a nice soundbite, but not really accurate, as there was no Great Britain until 500 years after the document was signed.<BR/><BR/>So asking the UK population's a bit deceptive, as the Scots, Irish and Welsh may never have been taught about it in their history classes.<BR/>But...I do know what the Magna Carta is! :-)<BR/><BR/>*off to browse the BL site*Jenniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18035196994771454451noreply@blogger.com
