RMR576KT–Although Magna Carta was often invoked in an unsophisticated and anachronistic manner, it became a prominent symbol of liberty for early nineteenth-century radicals. They saw Magna Carta as the basis of an ancient constitution that was under threat from an increasingly powerful and unaccountable executive. That position was demonstrated clearly in this book, published in support of Queen Caroline (d. 1821), which suggested that to defend the Queen was to defend the ancient rights established by Magna Carta. The book went through at least five editions in 1820, and was â€˜Dedicated to the Lad

The foundation charter of that new colony, drafted by Sir Edward Coke (d. 1634), stated that English law should be applied to the settlers. However, by the time that The Lawes of Virginia was published in 1662, it had become evident that certain principles of English law, which took their inspiration from Magna Carta, were no longer recognised in Virginia.

That document, and its accompanying â€˜Laws agreed upon in Englandâ€™, contained many provisions based on Magna Carta, including that â€˜all Courts shall be open, and Justice shall neither be sold, denyed nor delayedâ€™ (Law V), that court proceedings â€˜may be understood, and Justice speedily administredâ€™ (Law VII).
