King John of England needed money, but often broke the law. The nobles who would loan King John the money forced him to sign the Magna Carta in 1215. The Magna Carta established parliament to make laws, that the crown could not seize property and could not tax unless council of prominent men agreed), that they could not be put on trial based solely on an official's word and without witnesses, and that they could only be punished by a jury of peers. Essentially the Magna Carta was a document between the nobles and the King.
john Locke said that everyone was equal and had inalienable rights. These were Life, Liberty, and Property. He built on Rousseau's idea of the social contract by saying that the government could take freedoms to establish a peaceful state, but that it must give basic human rights to its citizens.
