The Magna Carta was the first ever legal arrangement of legitimate, effective, accountable power-sharing between different levels of government, where the Sovereign's prerogatives were limited by both regional institutions and by individual rights. The New Magna Carta reaffirms these two principles in a 21st Century context: six interconnected and interdependent levels of government - local, regional, national, UK, European, Trans-Atlantic; citizens' legal, political, and social rights are protected and promoted at each of these levels.
