Check out the Council of Nicaea. And what about the black plague? Maybe that was later.
Reply:Magna Carta Libertatum which was originally issued in 1215. This document is an important charter and is the earliest predecessor to constitutional law.





The Magna Carta came about because of a disagreement between Pope Innocent III, King John and the English Barons about the rights of the King. It required the British King to give up certain rights and acknowledge certain legal procedures that the monarch was taken to ignore before. Most important it said the King was bound by the law just like the common man.





Most importantly for the non-royal it contained the clause of Habeus Corpus which gave those arrested the right to seek justice against unlawful imprisonment.
