King John needed to rebuild his funds after he lost the war to King Phillip II. He attempted to do this by demanding a "scutage" (a fee paid in lieu of military service) from his barons who did not join him in his war with King Phillip II. These barons questioned the kings policies. They insisted he reestablishing Henry I's Coronation Oath. This put limits on the kings ability to obtain funds. King John refused. The rebelling barons began to loose momentum until an unexpected capture of London. This gave them a bargaining chip, so King John agreed to a Constitution. This is how the Magna Carta came about.
