Magna Carta (1215)
It caused the magna carta, and without the magna carta there might not have been a constitution.
The Magna Carta is generally held to be important because it guaranteed the nobility some rights that had previously been unique to the king. This was the beginning of the distribution of power to others than the ruler, and is believed to have been the first step towards representative democracy, as each of the nobles was responsible for conditons in the lands which he or she owned.
the most important part of the magna carta is freedom of religion for all
Although initially the Magna Carta was an agreement between King John and the barons, the document has gone on to frame many documents, including our Constitution and Bill of Rights. It protected the rights of the subjects and included protection against many government abuses such as unlawful imprisonment, that in modern common law is defined as Habeas Corpus.

Magna Carta.
yes it is very important... in basic it showed that the king had to follow rules which ultimately started to put power in the people
The signing of the Magna Carta in 1215 was important because it limited the power of the monarchy and established the principle that the king was not above the law. It laid the foundation for constitutional governance and individual rights that influenced the development of democratic societies.
Just as it limited the monarch's power, the Magna Carta also stopped the government from gaining too much power. The Magna Carta influenced English Law and Parliament, which in turn influence the USA's legislature
