​I was just watching the excellent new British tv series on the
Plantagenets last night. It's evident the Magna ​Carta was just the start
of the story. It was only the Provisions of Oxford
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisions_of_Oxford> that really
established some kind of constitutionally constraints on the monarchy.
Nevertheless a top-down process somewhat akin to the NMI :)  While they
were eventually all annulled, the effect was to establish the concept and
practice of common law <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law> - perhaps
analogous to the ms process :):)
