Facebook page

I've decided that this doesn't work as well as a blog. To facilitate better discussion, I've transformed it into a facebook page, which can be found here. I may decide to update this page with my final conclusions on each document, but I haven't decided yet. If you're totally outraged by this decision, feel free to voice you opinion. It may even sway mine.

Happy studying!

Constitutions of not particularly interesting

I can see why the Magna Carta was more influential than the Constitutions of Clarendon. Rather than defining rights and liberties, the Constitutions of Clarendon solidify already established processes. And, most importantly, this was an attempt to define the limits of the Church's power, not the limits of the king's power. Not exactly a step forward in liberty, but maybe it did have an influence in separating the powers of church and state.

Short post this week. For next week, study The Declaration of Arbroath.
