While challenges to authority are generally perceived as
destructive to legal order, this original collection of essays,
with Magna Carta at its heart, questions this assumption. In a
series of chapters concerned with different forms of challenges to
legal authority - over time, geographical place, and subject
matters both public and private - this volume demonstrates that
challenges to authority which seek the recognition of rights
actually change the existing legal order rather than destroying it.
The chapters further explore how the myth of Magna Carta emerged
and its role in the pre-modern world; how challenges to authority
formed the basis of the recognition of rights in particular areas
within England; and how challenges to authority resulted in the
recognition of particular rights in the United States, Canada,
Australia and Germany. This is a uniquely insightful thematic
collection which proposes a new view into the processes of legal
change.
