The Magna Carta was a legal document forced upon King John I to put an end to his unjust behavior. Overall, it stated that:
-All citizens are guaranteed protection by the law and trial by jury.
-The King cannot collect money from the Barons without their general consensus.
-Habeas Corpus will be in forced (a requirement of authorities to provide legal proof of why a person is being imprisoned).
These ideas are the basis of many legal systems still present today.
