The magna carta highly improved the lives of English citizens as it gave liberty to the people by restricting the monarch's actions and allowing EVERYONE to be able to represent themselves in court.

Could the basic notions of limited and representative government developed without the signing of the Magna Carta?

In short, yes and no. Obviously, the notions existed prior to the writing of the Magna Carta, because it came into existence under the King's nose. However, the Magna Carta granted a moment in time when the common man and the lord suddenly shared equal ground, at least on paper. It prevented the King from forcing his will upon the people; without it, there would have been no possibility of implementing limited and representative government, and other such sections of the Magna Carta.
