Synopsis

This book details the gradual progression of British democracy and civil liberty over many centuries. The author reminds readers that such freedoms as we enjoy today in many Western nations were hard-won, often through great sacrifice. The author traces the roots of many significant legal documents back to the Magna Carta signed under King John. The author goes on to explore how these freedoms spread through the evolution of the British Empire and the development of a Commonwealth of Nations. This detailed and accessible book illuminates a fascinating history and contains many insightful observations on the nature and importance of civil liberties from their origins to the modern era.
