What was the purpose of the Magna Carta
The Magna Carta was a document guaranteeing basic political
rights in England.
Magna Carta is Latin for "Great Charter". The document outlined
rights which became part of English law and which are now the
foundation of the constitution of all countries which speak
English. It did not grant any new rights, but it did protect
existing rights in writing. These rights included the basic right
of anyone convicted of a crime to a jury trial; protection of
private property; reasonable limits on taxes and a degree of
guaranteed religious freedom. The Magna Carta was a significant
influence on the long historical process that has resulted in the
rule of constitutional law today.
The Magna Carta came about because King John (who only became
king in 1199 when his brother King Richard I died) had a reputation
for being tyrannical. His reign was marred by continuous war
losses, beginning with the loss of Normandy to Philippe Auguste of
France and ending with England torn by civil war. King John risked
being forced out of power because of his mismanagement. By 1215,
England's nobility was fed up with paying extra taxation. Members
of this nobility rebelled and captured London. In June, the King
met these barons at Runnymede on the River Thames to try and reach
a peaceful settlement. The King reluctantly agreed to their demands
by signing the Magna Carta on 15 June 1215. It was intended to
limit the powers of the monarch and proclaimed certain liberties
for "freemen".
Many later documents such as the US Constitution were based upon
the Magna Carta.
