Human rights: debate
Magna Charta
On 15 June 1215 the king of England Giovanni “Senzaterra” was forced by the English barons to recognize a series of liberties and privileges in a solemn document, the Magna Charta libertatum ("Great Charter of Freedoms"). With some modifications it was garanted in 1225 by Henry III and confirmed in 1297 by Edward I, entering a distant part of the fundamental laws of the English kingdom. The historical importance of the Magna Carta lies in recognizing for the first time the inviolability of individual rights with respect to any arbitrariness of power; however, originally, it only defended the rights and privileges of nobility and high clergy, ignoring peasants, artisans and all others. Today the magna carta is considered as the first fundamental document for the universal recognition of citizens' rights.

"I have cultivated the ideal of a democratic and free society in which everyone can live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal for which I hope to live and which I hope to implement. But if necessary, it is an ideal for the which I am ready to die. "
