| Summary | "Magna Carta: A Commentary on the Great Charter of King John" by William Sharp McKechnie is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the significance and implications of the Magna Carta, focusing on its historical context and its role in the development of constitutional freedoms in England. The book aims to provide a fresh commentary on this pivotal document, critiquing earlier interpretations and emphasizing its relevance to the struggles for liberty. The opening of the commentary highlights that no significant modern analysis of Magna Carta has been published until now, despite the profound impact of the Great Charter on English constitutional history. McKechnie discusses the motivations behind his work, emphasizing the necessity of examining the various grievances that led to its creation and outlining the events that unfolded in the lead-up to its signing. He argues that the Magna Carta is deserving of detailed study due to its complexities and the wealth of knowledge in contemporary scholarship, setting the stage for a thorough exploration of its chapters and clauses in the remaining text.
