The Magna Carta, established in 1215, was the first written constitution in European history, laying the groundwork for modern political documents like the U.S. Constitution. While most of its clauses have been rendered obsolete, three remain, albeit vaguely worded. The document's influence extends globally, inspiring the founding principles of several former British territories. Today, only a few original copies survive, with one notable version displayed in the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
