Title | Three-pound bill of credit, 1771 |
Creator | North Carolina. Colonial Assembly. |
Date | December 1771 |
Description | Three-pound bill of credit issued in 1771 |
Historical Notes | A scroll inscribed MAGNA CHARTA [sic (Great Charter)] decorates this bill. The original Magna Carta, signed by King John of England at Runnymede in 1215, is one of the most important legal documents in history. The charter restricted, at least partially, the limits of royal power and dramatically affected the evolution of English common law and later the course of American democracy. |
