On 1215 A.D. they forced me to sign the Magna Carta because I wanted to raise taxes.
What did the Magna Carta do?
The Magna Carta gave rights to the Barons. It also set up Due Process of Law. These are rules that must be followed such as a fair impartial trial, and search and seizure. Also, the King cannot raise new taxes without consulting his Parliament.
King John, do you think the Magna Carta is an important document in history?
Yes, very much so. The Magna Carta set up an established system that certainly will last.
