1. the Magna Carta took away some of the king's powers. He could no longer collect taxes unless a group called the great council agreed.
2. "The Magna Carta of 1215 had limited royal power and protected nobles from unlawful loss of life, liberty, and property". (I got it from text book)
3. limits power of English king

King John was subject to the same laws that average citizens would be effected by. Also, he could not collect taxes from innocent people. - My answer after doing some research for a school project.

Before the Magna Carta, the king had a huge amount of power over everything, and he had control over everyone. Decisions that affected the country were based on his will alone - he could do whatever he wanted.
The Magna Carta ensured that he could not be an absolute monarch (not have total power). Much of his power was handed over to the Barons who largely controlled their areas of land and the people living on it. The Magna Carta also meant that the king could no longer sentence anyone to death by his will alone - no-one (except serfs) could be punished except by the laws of the land.
