The Great Charter, or Magna Carta, signed in 1215, significantly limited the power of the English monarchy and enhanced the influence of the nobles. It established the principle that the king was subject to the law, ensuring that nobles had certain rights and protections against arbitrary rule. This shift allowed them to assert their authority and participate more actively in governance, ultimately paving the way for the development of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary systems in England. The charter laid the groundwork for the future assertion of individual rights and the limitation of centralized power.
