A Magna Carta copy at Harvard Law School turned out to be an original (Credit: Harvard Law School.edu/ Public Domain)

The Magna Carta, or "Great Charter," is one of the most important documents in the history of democracy. It introduced the idea that no one — not even the king — is above the law. The charter helped shape the founding principles of many nations, including the United States.
