IMAGE number
BL3289713
Image title
Having received a substantial grant of lands in 1681 in what would become known as Pennsylvania, William Penn set about devising a constitution for his new colony, which became The Frame of the Government of Pennsylvania. That document, and its accompanying 'Laws agreed upon in England', contained many provisions based on Magna Carta, including that 'all Courts shall be open, and Justice shall neither be sold, denyed nor delayed' (Law V), that court proceedings 'may be understood, and Justice speedily administred' (Law VII). The first of these provisions closely echoed clause 40 of the 1215 Magna Carta ('To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice'). This was the first time that an American colony had expressly adopted elements of Magna Carta as part of the initial act of colonisation
