"To no one will we sell, to no one will we refuse or delay right or justice.". This is probably the most important quote in the Magna Carta, because it sums up the entire document pretty well.

The Magna Carta document
By limiting the monarch (Louis XIV I believe, though I am not sure), the Magna Carta set an example for future governments by making a system of balances to the monarch.
Magna Carta, which means in English 'The Great Charter', is one of the most important documents in British history as it established the principle that everyone is subject to the law, even the king, and guarantees the rights of individuals, the right to justice and the right to a fair trial
the Magna Carta was the first document to impose on a king (in this case, King John I of England) limitations to his power by his subjects. It is considered to be the foundation of the freedom of the individual against a ruler's authority (here, the king).
Each person was entitled to justice,and only those who knew the law and obey it should be made officials.
