Watch: King Charles’s praise of checks on executive power brings Congress to its feet

He highlighted the historical significance of the Magna Carta, issued in 1215, as a foundational document limiting governmental authority. His remarks underscored the shared legal heritage between the United Kingdom and the United States.
