 * The Magna Carter also Known as the Great Charter was the first document that limited the power of Monarchs and stated that every person had rights. King John of England was the reason for the development of the Magna Carta because he was unfair and wanted power to himself, which brought many conflicts between him and the aristocrats ( Barons). Some of the examples were, increasing taxes, made unfair laws, people had less power during his reign, and the dispute between Pope Innocent 111 . The dispute was about, who would appoint archbishops. The aristocrats forced King John to sign the Magna carta to assure that he has limited power. King John was furious about signing the Magna Carta but was out numbered. The Magna Carta helped all free men from arbitrary arrest, imprisonment, and other legal actions. This prevented the King not to raise taxes without consulting great council of lords. This charter helped give nobles certain rights and monarchs had to obey laws. ||
