Magna Carta

(Interview with King John, 1215)

Me: Good afternoon John, hows life?

John: Tough, the peseants do not want a strong government.

Me: Tell me about it.

John: Well, first theres this guy Robin Hood, he is annoying. He apparently doesn't like that some people have money because they worked for it, so he gives the poor stolen money. I know that it's "morally right" but I dont care, its against the law. And when I try to be strict with them, the only get more p.o.-ed. So the people took me, and they made me sign some kinda document.

M: What kinda document.

J: A document that says the king must obey his rules.

M: Oh, right I get it, we have some stuff based off those rules in our society right now.

J: Right, but I'm not done, they document they made me sign was called the Magna Carta. It claimed "King must obey laws, has its own system of rules, and makes a parliment, house of commons, and a legislative branch.

M: You know John, that document actually helps in today's society a lot, without it, the world would be very different and the people would have close to no power at all.

J: Yeah but at my own expense.

M: Well, at least you helped the people of Europe and Earth.

J: Whatever.

M: Well, thank you for being on my interview, have fun with ur kingdom.

J: I will, thank you.
