Because they did not want certain kings to have too much power over people, like serfs could not be punished, etc.

A little more info!

In the year 1215 there was a king name John. In short he was an evil guy. He capture and killed his people for no reason. Also he had a habit of throwing people in jail and forgetting about them unless they paid a fee.

Eventually the Dukes (and all the other nobility... which I can't name) forced him to agree the a set of rules (known as the Charter) to how the people could and had to be treated.

King John couldn't disagree because he had no support. And thus agreed to sign the Chart. The main difference was that the rights of the citizen were written down making them official.
