Even though the Magna Carta failed in it’s original efforts of being a peace treaty, it still made a strong constitution for people back then, and today. “ Most of the 63 clauses granted by King John dealt with specific grievances relating to his rule. However, buried within them were a number of fundamental values that both challenged the autocracy to the king and proved highly adaptable in future centuries.” The Magna Carta is seen through our gov’t and or documents.

The biblical reading that I selected is from the book of Acts, Chapter 5: 1-11, which is the story of Ananias and Sapphira. My reason for choosing this story is personal. While living in Italy, we were in Rome with some of our seminarian friends. We were waiting to go on the Scavi tour and had some free time. One of the seminarians asked if we had ever seen the sacristy in St. Peter’s. We had not, so he took us in for a tour. After the tour of the sacristy, we walked out into the Basilica.…

By using the law, the hierarchy became abnormal and artificial. Financial forces, notably the increase of Atlantic trading networks, had the influence to corrode this order. Ordinary men could become richer than the elite gentry, act like them and intermarry with them. In the mid-eighteenth century, Benjamin Franklin defined population revolution precisely. He saw that early and regular marriages and bigger families were dragging America 's entire population closer to Britain 's…

For many years the nation followed British law and remained colonies under their rule. However, they quickly grew tired of British antics and boldly fought for independence to become free from England.
