	MAGNA CARTA
		Like the Articles, of which it is a close copy, Magna Carta itself is a very practical document, but composed in rather a huryy and not arranged in a very orderly way.
		John did not keep his promises, and Magna Carta failed to achieve its purpose at the time because the barons quarrelled among themselves.
		It was Magna Carta which inspired Englishmen to struggle successfully for what it called constitutional government; that is, government according to law.

		The demand for the confirmation of Magna Carta took the place of the older battle-cry of a return to the laws of good King Edward, and the halo as of a golden age that surrounded the "leges Eadwardi" was transferred to their supposed new embodiment in John's Charter of Liberties.
		To the fame gained by Magna Carta in respect of its real and original meaning, must thus be added the fame gained by the imaginary Magna Carta, as evolved from the earlier Charter by the learning of Coke and his parliamentary associates.
		Magna Carta affirmed the doctrine that kings are accountable for their deeds, and thus paved the way for the shifting of the responsibility from the King to his ministers, holding office at the will of a Representative Parliament.

		At the time of the signing of the Magna Carta, Ankerwyke was probably part of a larger area known as Runnymede, comprising all the water meadows in the area.
