On June 15, 1215, about 2,000 English nobles gathered at Runnymede, a meadow along the Thames river. They presented John with a list of their demands.
John was forced to place the royal seal on the document, and it became law. Called the Magna Carta, or the Great Charter it limited the king's power. The king could no longer Jail any Freeman without just cause, and he could not raise taxes without consulting his Great Council of lords and Clergy.

Why was King John forced to sigh the Mangna Carta?
He was forced to sign the Magna Carta because of all the people supporting it. Without people a King couldn't be a King right? So he was forced to sign it. Signing it limited his power which was also the reason why the Magna Carta was created - since the king - King John - had been unjust and unfair. The Roman church at the time was in some cases more important than the King. Since God was more in the focus, and the church highly approved of the Magna Carta, and the church was supported by the people King John didn't have much of a chance of NOT signing the document.
