It established the rule of law -- thus the monarch was not above the law but had to obey it. Also, it established the principle of no taxation without representation which meant that the English monarch needed the consent of parliament to tax the people.the king where not following the laws at first.he sent people to jail guilty or not,and taxed the church for nothing.but the people rebelled.

The Magna Carta limited the power of the king by limiting the extent of his power over the people. He was not allowed anymore to take a nobleman's freedom without proper judicial procedure, he could no longer impose new taxes without consent of Parliament and he had to respect the rights and properties of the Church..
