the Magma Charto and Of which every

more than one or two that ameliorated
the condition Of the common people.
But in the charter Of human rights is
sued directly to man BY God Himself
there is the fullest recognition Of mans

Divine right antedates and invali-
dates all merely prescriptiye rights.
Human rights do not depend for their
force or validity upon any extraneous
circumstances Of wealth. birth, sex, col
or or race. God hath made Of one blood
all the nations Of the earth. He is no
