Gila trout, native only to headwater streams that vein over the Mogollon Rim of New Mexico and Arizona, have expressed in their genetic makeup a mapping of how to survive in the vestiges of what surely was a large and contiguous range.
The Magna Carta was a significant influence on the long  historical process that has resulted in the rule of constitutional  law today.    The Magna Carta came about because King John (who only became king  in 1199 when his brother King Richard I died) had a reputation for  being tyrannical. His reign was marred by continuous war losses,  beginning with the loss of Normandy to Philippe Auguste of France  and ending with England torn by civil war.
Magna Carta calls for the rule of law in opposition to the rule of unreasonable men and due process of law. 9 of the 26 provisions in the Bill of Rights are from the Magna Carta or 33% and largely relate to the due process of law. Magna Carta does seek abolition of monarchy, change in the feudal order or seek religious freedom or freedom of the press.
