The British Legacy
- often associated with monarchy and their empire
- Magna Carta (1215) began the creating of a political system "by and for the people"
- 1776-Americans rebelled against British rule, but our government is based on British common law--emphasis on personal rights and freedoms
- U.S. influenced by British parliamentary government, literature and, of course, the English language
- Great Britain was invaded by Iberians (ancient), Celts, Romans, Angles and Saxons, Vikings and Normans--influences of invaders on culture
