King John of England was forced to sign the Magna Carta at Runnymede on 15 June 1215. The Magna Carta, also known as The Great Charter, required that the King proclaim certain liberties, and accept that he was not above the law like anyone else. So the Magna Carta helped establish rights and limited government/monarchy.
