re: #266 Desert Dog
A few of the first written portions of the English constitution:
The idea that the King was subject to the law resounded heavily in English history. The idea that rights and legal matters are “god given” rather than bestowed by a monarch is and was a very novel idea. THANK YOU ENGLAND!
The idea that the king is subject to the law is invoked many times in regards to both Saul and David.
As a direct analog to Magna Carta, the story about David pouring out the water (that his men brought back to him after breaking through Philistine lines) directly refers to this.
