The Charter of Liberties, also known as the Coronation Charter, was issued in 1100 by King Henry I of England. It aimed to establish certain rights and privileges for the nobility and the church, promoting justice and limiting the king's power. This document is considered an early step towards constitutional governance in England. The Charter included provisions for fair taxation, protection of church rights, and the establishment of a council to advise the king. It laid the groundwork for later documents, such as the Magna Carta in 1215, which further expanded the principles of individual rights and the rule of law.
