regarding LITERACY------I have no doubt that a higher percentage of the population of Syrians ----now----are literate than was the percentage of americans in 1776. The US constitution is not BASED on the Magna Carta
You didnt even know about magna carta, now you are an expert ha
You thought US became what it is in one night![]()
I didn't know about the Magna carta? I was educated in US public schools---
we learn about the magna carta in the fourth grade------not that it was such a big
deal. The whole country INCLUDING lots of people was owned by the
"UPPER CLASS"-------- like Downton Abbey ------serfs had did not get any
rights------the situation was no different than it was in the times of Robin Hood
except the "Lords and Ladies" had a bit more control over their own lives.
No wonder.....
"Magna Carta exercised a strong influence both on the United States Constitution and on the constitutions of the various states."

no it didn't ------------the idea is just a simplistic view of history. ------which is how
history is presented in the USA public schools along with pictures of happy pilgrims having thanksgiving dinner with happy Indians
Yes yes, people who wrote the constitution say they were influenced by the magna carta but what do they know.....
yeah yeah----the simplistic view of history I know it well-------I started to
learn at age 5 in kindergarten. They also thought that they were influenced
by Socrates and Plato
