Charge 7 said:Uh the US Revolutionary War started in 1775. The French Revolution didn't start until 1789 so, 5.56 is correct on that, Rich.
LeEnfield said:Question on Liberty...has any of you read the Magna Carta from 1215 when the Barons marched King John at the point of sword to sign this act at Runnymede. This act brought in trial by Jury, it refused the State permission to hold you more than 24 hours before you were charged with a crime and went to court, well I could on but it would take several pages, and this was 500 years before the French Revolution.
