I know I don't need to prove how wrong Shoonra is to my sui juris peers but what the hell.
"This document is a bridge between the Constitutional protection of one's access to the common law, and the Magna Carta. The modern value of the following is that it links the Magna Carta to the Common Law. The U.S. Constitution guarantees one's access to the Common Law, i.e. the Magna Carta."
CONFIRMATIO CARTARUM
October 10, 1297
.....(3) and that our justices, sheriffs, mayors, and other ministers, which under us have the laws of our land to guide, shall allow the said charters pleaded before them in judgement in all their points, that is to wit, the Great Charter as the common law[*] and the Charter of the forest, for the wealth of our realm."
[*] This reaffirms that the Magna Carta may be pleaded as the Common Law before a court(of record).

COMMON LAW....This, so far as it has not since been expressly abrogated, is recognized as an organic part of the jurisprudence of most of the Untied States.
