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.
