Best Answer

The Magna Carta, signed in 1215 on the road to Runnymede. One could argue whether it was "firmly established" immediately, though. There were issues of it being signed under duress - which it actually was - and it was repudiated later.

Over time it gained popularity, and eventually became a guiding principle of Anglo law.

Which document established the principle that government should be based on laws and not on the whims of a ruler?

Perhaps the most famous is the Magna Carta or "Great Charter" which King John of England was compelled by the nobility of his realm to sign in 1215. Some aspects of this document were respected and came to be regarded as law - e.g. the right to trial by jury - whilst other bits were largely ignored. Even when such laws such as the right to trial by jury were established it did not mean you got a fair trial and later reforms were needed in a long process of slowly evolving reforms.
