The concept that dates back to the Magna Carta and King John's recognition of the rights of nobles is the idea of the rule of law and limited government. The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, established that the monarch's power was not absolute and that even the king was subject to the law. This foundational document laid the groundwork for individual rights and liberties, influencing the development of constitutional law and democratic principles in subsequent centuries.
