III. MINI-SKIT ONE: King John/ Events Leading up to Magna Carter

(Source: law.jr.rnk.org/pages/12301/Magna-Carta-Events-leading-Magna-Carta.html; and

http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/featured_documents/magna_carta/legacy.html)

Narrator (with slides): In the 1200’s Britain was a feudal society. In exchange for land, barons

would provide knights for the King’s army.

The King had upset both the Catholic Church and the Barons.

The Church had excommunicated King James in 1209. This means that the Church excluded the

King from the Church. But the Church also banned all church services in England, which meant

that not only was the King excluded from practicing Catholicism, but also all of the Barons and

everyone else in England. This was a cause for great concern because the Church taught at the

time, that if you don’t go to church …

You get to meet Mr. Pitchfork. Nobody wanted that.

In July 1214, King John had lost an important battle to King Philip II at Bouvines resulting in a

loss of land in western France. He also lost the income that had been generated from the land.

At home, the barons were unhappy with the King. They believed he was unjust and disapproved

of his fiscal policies. While there was a court system at the time, raising the issues to the court

was futile. King John appointed the judges and the fines imposed by the judges were often

extreme and often involved taking the individual’s property.

The King wanted even more Knights to fight more battles. And the King wanted to impose

additional taxes or a scutage on the Barons to fund additional fighting and to make up for the lost

income for the lost lands in Northern France.

The Baron’s captured London and could exclude the King—they had already fought with the

King’s forces and held London and controlled the income from it while they had it. The Baron’s

were fed up with the King.

The King eventually reconciled with the Church on his excommunication but there were still

disputes between the King and the Church.

The stars were aligned for a resolutions between the King, the Barons, and the Church. That is

why we needed the Magna Carta.

Let’s see how King John may have handled the situation upon his return home in the summer of

1214.

[King John (KJ) sitting at a table and Servant (S) walks in handing two scrolls. KJ open the first

one.]

KJ: Well look here my new crown make of beautiful colored cloth and rubies will be arriving

shortly. And I only paid ($X) for it.

S: Wonderful, your highness.

KJ: Of course. Now hand me that other scroll. It is thick. I am curious.

S hands KJ the scroll. KJ opens the long scroll and it goes to the floor. KJ scans it and pulls up

the end.

[With a shocking look] KJ: Wow. That war in France cost a pretty penny. I just don’t have that

much money. What should I do?

S [meekly]: Um, You could not buy that crown.

KJ [ looks at S like he is crazy]: I know I’ll just have the barons pay a scutage. You know a fee

for not providing me with knights to fight King Philip II. Yes, it was their fault I lost. They

should pay for it.

S: Um. Sire. You already charged them a scutage for the last battle. The barons in the north

believe your fees are excessive. They are wanting you to reconfirm Henry’ I’s Coronation Oath

to limited the funds you can charge them.

KJ: Nonsense. I am the King. I am above the law. If I cannot decide the taxes then who can?


TEAM 5 – SKIT

S: The Barons agree you can charge taxes. They just have to be reasonable. They do not want to

pay for your every wish.

KJ: I am the King. I deserve it.

S: As you wish, your highness.

KJ: Send them the bills. Wonderful. Done… I just can’t wait to have my new crown with all

those rubies.

IV. MINI-SKIT 2: Barons and KJ

Narrator (with slides)

Baron 1: Can you believe it? We have captured London from King John’s army!

Baron 2: Despite all of the Kings’ resources, we finally have leverage for our demands.

Baron 3: Yep, it only took us about a year.

Baron 1: Yes, the King should agree to our demands now.

Baron 2: We may finally have protection over our property. Everything we make and earn won’t

have to go to him when he wants it.

Baron 3: I sure hope he agrees.

[Baron’s walk and King John meet with King’s reps]

Baron 1: The people demand limiting the King’s power.

Baron 2: Yes, we want justice in taxation. We want to own our property.

Baron 3: And we want respect for the ancient feudal customs of mutual obligations and fairness

that King John ignores.

King’s rep 1: But the king needs money. He no longer has the income from the lost lands in

western France.

King’s rep 2: And he has all of the bills from the war to pay.

King: How can I live with all that debt? How will I afford my new crown?


TEAM 5 – SKIT

Baron 1: We are not afraid to go to war. We have already taken over London.

Baron 2: If the King cannot follow the feudal customs of fairness, we do not need to be loyal to

him. But if he signs our request, we will renew our allegiance to him.

King John: I am the King. I don’t have to follow rules. I’m tired of you barons not obeying me.

You must pay for the wars!

[King rep 1 and King rep 2 pull aside the King]

King rep 1: Your higness, they have London. They refuse to pay your taxes and now can control

London.

King rep 2: And they are not going to be loyal anymore. They can move from the lands in your

kingdom and live in London. Do you want that?

King John: Of course not! But, I’m the king.

King rep 1: We know. We know. But consider agreeing to some of their terms to get what you

want. It’s the only way out now.

King John [looking at King rep 2]: Do you agree?

King rep 2: Yes, King.

King John: Fine. I’m tired of this. If they will renew their allegiance and hand over London, I’ll

agree to their silly list of demands.

[King John walks over to Barons]

King John: Hand me your list. Here appoint my seal. I’ll have my royal chancellors draft up the

agreement.

Narrator (with slides): When King John died during the civil war which arose over his refusal to abide by

the Magna Carta, his song Henry assumed the throne, and the Magna Carta was reissued in his name,

with minor changes which omitted the ability of the barons to override the king through force, and the

war soon ended in Henry’s favor. Henry moved to take a more personal role in deciding policy and

patronage, rather than deferring to vast royal councils. However, Henry tried to be more lenient to the

barons and, to this end, he ruled within the various charters thereby emphasizing constitutional rule.

Around the same time, inventors were trying to protect their discoveries. Henry granted privileges to

various trades people which granted some protections for their discoveries. The first known such

privilege of invention granted by Henry was to confirm a grant of privilege by the Mayor of Bordeaux to

Bonafusus de Sancta Columbia, an Aquitainian master in the dyeing of textiles in 1236. The grant of

privilege permitted Bonafusus and his workers, and them alone, to make various cloths, of many colors,

using his techniques for fifteen years, after which time anyone could make the cloths. Such a granting

may have gone something like this:

Bonafusus worker (BW): Bonafusus, congratulations on developing your new cloth-making techniques!

The cloth that we can make with these techniques are superior to everything else in all the land. And

the colors! So many colors. It’s a sure bet that everyone will want to buy our cloth!

Bonafusus (BF): I know…

BW: But why are you so glum? You’re going to be rich!

Bonafusus: Maybe, but all the other cloth-makers will copy my techniques, and then they’ll be selling

imitations at a lower price, and then where will I be? I can’t compete against generic Bonafusus

imitations!

BW: Maybe you could try to get someone powerful to stop those other cloth makers from stealing your

techniques! What about the Mayor?


TEAM 5 – SKIT

2/19/05

B: Maybe, but how powerful can a mayor really be?

Mayor (M) – barging in: I heard someone mention me! What deserves my mention?

BW: Mayor, Bonafusus here has developed cloth-making techniques that will result in superior cloths,

but if he can’t get protection again other cloth-makers using similar techniques, then his cloths won’t be

profitable!

M: That doesn’t seem to be a problem worthy of my mention. I am a very important person after all,

and I don’t have time to be barging into every building which mentions my name regarding cloth.

BW: But Mayor, if Bonafusus had the privilege of being the only one to produce cloth according to his

techniques, his cloths would become renowned, and people would journey here from all over the land

to buy his cloth, resulting in revenue, taxable revenue.

M: Wait, that sounds important. We can’t let those other merchant’s deprive me, I mean this land, of

our rightful taxes! I’d love to give you protection, but if I made Bonafusus the sole cloth-maker, then I’m

worried that he would get too powerful and complacent. And I’d have other cloth-makers beating down

my door for favoring him and hiding his techniques from them!

B: Well, I wouldn’t need protection forever. If the cloth-making does well, I may retire in a decade. And

anyway, I’m sure I’ll have come up with new techniques in a few years, so I wouldn’t mind if the other

cloth makers eventually could use my techniques.

M: Oh, well then I think I can help you if it’s only for a short time. Thus (turns to audience), let it be

known that I hereby grant Bonafusus the privilege to be the only one to make cloths using his

techniques for the next 15 years, after which anyone can make cloth according to his techniques.

BW – turning to B: Who is he talking to? We’re the only ones here.

B – to M: That’s wonderful, Mayor! But how far does your authority extend? If cloth makers in the lands

outside your authority still copy my techniques, how can this privilege stop them?

M: You’re right. I’m very important, but not that important. If we want to truly protect your cloth-

making and taxable income, we need more power. National power! If only the King would help us by

confirming my grant, that might do it.

B: That might do the trick, but how could we get the King to help us?

King (K) – barging in: I heard someone mention my name! And the Mayor of Bordeaux is here; this must

be serious and worthy of my Royal attention span! So, please state the nature of your Royal emergency,

because I am the state, and I’m here to help.

M: Your majesty, Bonafusus here has developed cloth-making techniques which can create the best

cloths in all the lands, but if others are able to make cloths too, then we will be deprived of taxable

revenue. I granted Bonafusus a privilege to be the only one to make his cloths, but my authority only

goes so far.

K: That is a serious problem. As you know, I am a ruler according to laws, but I want my people to be

happy. But I don’t want Bonafusus to have the exclusive privilege to make cloth forever. If I just started

handing out privileges left and right then the barons might think that I was making an end run around

their rights by shutting their tenants out of various trades!

M: Your majesty, I thought of that! The privilege is only for 15 years, after which anyone can make cloth

like Bonafusus!


TEAM 5 – SKIT

2/19/05

K: Oh, well that’s different. I have no problems with that, and I’m sure the barons would be more

understanding of these privileges if they are limited. (turns to audience) I hereby confirm the Mayor’s

grant of privilege. From this day forward, Bonafusus will have the exclusive right to make cloths

according to his techniques for the next 15 years, after which, anyone can make cloth using his

techniques!

M: Who is he talking to?

K: My work here is done! I’m off to the next royal crisis. (runs out of room)

VII Mini-Skit 5 – Magna Carta and the 13 Colonies


<Petitioner/Petitioners are attempting to get a group of 3 to sign a petition condemning the

Stamp Act of 1765>

Petitioner: Sirs, please sign this petition condemning the latest intrusion of Parliament upon the

rights of the people of these 13 colonies. The Stamp Act of 1765 completely flies in the face of

the fundamental rights guaranteed to freemen by the Magna Carta.

Individual 1: (grumpily) Sounds like a waste of time if I’ve ever heard one.

I2: Why should we care what England does with postage?

I3: Hey, what’s a Magnet Cartel anyway?

P: Gentlemen, the Magna Carta is a document written and signed in 1215 by King John which

limits the powers of the sovereign and protects the very foundational liberties for which we

travelled to these 13 colonies! So that we and our heirs may be guaranteed the rights and

immunities of free and natural subjects! A land where we may rise by merit, not birth! Why

Chief Justice Lord Coke himself has interpreted the Magna Carta as stating that even kings must

comply with the common law. The Magna Carta will have no sovereign!

I1: That is all well and good, but I came to the colonies to escape having to hear about Lords

and Kings.


TEAM 5 – SKIT

I2: I came hoping the weather would be better.

I3: I came to keep up with the Kardashians.

P: But my good sirs, the Stamp Act requires that every printed document be taxed and affixed

with a stamp to show that the required taxes have been paid. It is blatant taxation without

representation! If this act is allowed to stand the price of newspapers will nearly double! It will

become difficult for many to stay informed!

I1: I don’t read the newspaper.

I2: I don’t read anything

I3: I can’t read, but I would imagine self reading newspapers will probably be invented in the

next five to ten years.

P: That seems unlikely, but it brings up another issue. Inventors will have to pay additional taxes

on their issued patents. They are being denied a basic property right, this could prevent great

American inventions such as the lightning rod, rotating chair, and flushing toilet from reaching

the public. American ingenuity will be stifled!

I3: A rotating flushing toilet? I’ll sign for that!

I1: My crazy neighbor recently received a patent for a <insert the most ridiculous and useless

patent that anyone on the team knows of>, personally I think he could use a little stifling.

I2: Besides, couldn’t they just take it out of the lawyer fees?

P: Well, if you gents are not interested in invention, public access to information, or even basic

civil liberties, what do you concern yourselves with?

Ship Captain: <enters the scene visibly irritated and bumps into the group while yelling at

someone off set> Well maybe there won’t be a next shipment! Unbelievable! Sorry to interrupt,

but these new Stamp Act taxes are going to be the death of my shipping business!

I1: Well Captain, what are you shipping?

SC: Just the usual array of wines, assortment of beer, rums, and whiskeys; and a variety of the

local favorites, you know: Rattle-Skull, Stonewall, Blackstrap, Toddy, and of course Whistle

Belly.


TEAM 5 – SKIT

I2: Well now we can’t have that! King George has taken it too far! Has he not read the Magna

Carta! Where’s that petition, I’ll sign!

I1: Lord Coke was right! No law may be above the common law, why nothing has ever been so

plainly laid out as that principle in the Magna Carta!

I3: I still don’t know what a Magnet Cartel is, but I’ll sign!

VIII Mini-skit 6 – Magna Carta and the US Constitution


<Scene, Madison, John Hancock, Ben Franklin and two other forefathers are gathered together in

a preliminary conference to constitutional provisions, Madison is taking notes>

Madison: Gentlemen, we have gathered here today to collect ideas for a constitution for this

great American country. As we have previously discussed, we shall look to prior legal

documents which have stood the test of time for inspiration. <John Hancock raises his hand> Mr.

Hancock?

JH: Shall we be signing anything at this meeting?

Madison: Not likely John…

Forefather 1: I would like to start with the Magna Carta, it has been about for over 500 years

and seems as relevant today as it ever was.

M: Excellent idea.

FF2: I believe what has allowed the Magna Carta to remain pertinent is that its clauses are open

to interpretation. We should aim to mimic this trait within our constitution as well.

M: Great point. We shall draft a living document, one that is able to be adapted to the needs of

the people of the time. Mr. Franklin?

Ben Franklin: The Magna Carta originally applied only to barons, but was eventually changed

to grant rights to any freeman. We should hope to capture this point in the constitution, much as

we did in the Declaration of Independence.

M: An important theme that should run throughout the document. We shall… <John Hancock

raises his hand> Yes John…


TEAM 5 – SKIT

2/19/05

11

JH: The Magna Carta was signed. We should make sure that we all sign the constitution.

M: Thank you for that John, I’m putting it in the notes. Now, are there any specific clauses from

the Magna Carta that anyone believes should be included in this constitution?

FF2: Clause 1 of the Magna Carta guaranteed the freedom of the English Church. Perhaps we

should include a similar provision guaranteeing the separation of the church from government,

expanding it such that they are sheltered from one another.

FF1: Clause 39 guarantees that no man may be imprisoned or stripped of his rights or

possessions without due process. Let us include a mirror of that decree.

BF: Let us make sure to include intellectual property in that limitation on government power.

Perhaps requiring an exclusive grant to inventors…

M: As well as writers…

BF: <rolling eyes> writers too James, if you wish.

M: I believe this gives us promising beginnings to a strong constitution. Is there any other

business before we adjourn? <John Hancock raises his hand> Yes John…

JH: I motion that we all sign the meeting minutes…

<everyone throws things at John Hancock>

IX. Mini-Skit 7 – The Magna Carta and Modern US Law

Narrator (with slides): In this last skit, we are at the office of the general counsel of a

small company who has just been sued for patent infringement and copyright

infringement. An intellectual property attorney comes over to the general counsel’s

office to talk about the case.

Client listening to first track from Jay-Z “Magna Carta Holy Grail” as attorney

enters the room.

Attorney: Good morning Stephen, hey what are you listening too?


TEAM 5 – SKIT

2/19/05

12

Client: Jay-Z’s new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail. It’s my favorite. I’ll turn it off

now, though. (Turn off music). Thanks for coming over. I’ve been waiting to talk to an

Intellectual Property attorney all day. As you know our company just got sued for patent

and copyright infringement.

Attorney: Yes I know and I have some ideas about that.

Client: I have some ideas too. This patent case against us is ridiculous! Patents have

become a bane on doing business in this country they need to be stopped. I’m lobbying

Congress to just get rid of all patents. Congress should just declare that all patents are

null and void.

Attorney: Well, the Fifth Amendment says that no person shall be deprived of life,

liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for

public use, without just compensation.

Client: Where did that come from?

Attorney: Well, it originally came from the Magna Carta. Clause 39 of the Magna Carta

states that no free man can be imprisoned, stripped of his rights or possessions, etc.,

without due process being legally applied. In addition, clause 52 of the Magna Carta

established a process for giving restitution to those who had been unlawfully

dispossessed of their property or rights.

Client: So does this Takings clause in the Constitution apply to patents?


TEAM 5 – SKIT

2/19/05

13

Attorney: That actually is unclear. In a 2006 decision, Zoltek Corp. v. United States, a

Federal Circuit panel held that patents are not property protected by the Takings Clause.

However, the Federal Circuit sitting en banc in Zoltek Corp. v. United States in 2012

vacated the 2006 panel decision. Therefore, whether patents are property rights protected

by the Takings Clause is an open question.

Client: Alright, well forget that idea. But what about these new proceedings I keep

hearing about at the Patent Office. I keep hearing that the patent office has patent death

squads. Let’s put these patents in front of a patent death squad. Then we’ll see who has

the last laugh.

Attorney: Yes, the America Invents Act instituted a number of post grant proceedings to

challenge the validity of patents. By far the most popular has been something called inter

partes review. And if we have some prior art that we think invalidates these patents, that

avenue is probably a very good one to take. We can talk about that later.

Attorney, Continued: However, I should warn you that there currently is a challenge to

the constitutionality of these proceedings. In MCM Portfolio LLC v. Hewlett-Packard

Co., MCM is arguing that actions to revoke a patent can only be adjudicated by a jury in

an Article III Court. MCM is arguing that the post grant proceedings are unconstitutional

since they authorize the transfer of patent validity decisions from Article III Courts to the

USPTO, thereby denying Patent Owners access to a jury trial in violation of the Seventh

Amendment.

Client: Well, speaking of juries, these darn juries are what really get me. The damages

awards they give are always way too high. A judge is a much more reasonable,

especially about damages. Can’t we insist that a judge decide this patent case.

Attorney: Well, again, the 7th

Amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial in certain

civil cases. It says that “in Suits at common law where the value in controversy shall

exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved.”

Client: What’s a suit a common law? What does that mean?


TEAM 5 – SKIT

2/19/05

14

Attorney: Well, the Supreme Court has said that in order to determine what is a suit at

common law, we have to look at English common law as it existed in the year 1791.

Client: 1791? What was English common law like in 1791?

Attorney: In 1791, the Magna Carta was a central component of English common law,

especially the clause stating that no person can be imprisoned, stripped of his rights or

possessions, etc., without due process being legally applied.

Client: The Magna Carta! It seems like that Magna Carta keeps coming up. How does

that apply to patents and copyrights?

Attorney: Well, the Supreme Court has ruled that the 7th

Amendment applies to statutory

actions that are analogous to cases tried in English courts of law in 1791. In 1998 in

Feltner v. Columbia Pictures TV the Supreme Court ruled that the 7th

Amendment right

to a jury trial applies to copyright infringement cases. And in Markman v. Westview

Instruments, the Supreme Court ruled that the right to a jury trial applies to patent

infringement cases.

Client: So are you telling me that the right to a jury trial in patent cases is a Constitutional

right?

Attorney: Yes I am.

Client: And it’s all because of the Magna Carta?


TEAM 5 – SKIT

2/19/05

15

Attorney: Yes. That’s where it began.

Attorney and Client together: The Magna Carta!
