The primary purpose of the Magna Carta (1215) was to limit the powers of the English monarchy and establish certain legal rights for subjects. It sought to protect barons from arbitrary imprisonment and taxation without representation, asserting the principle that the king was not above the law. This foundational document laid the groundwork for the development of constitutional law and individual rights in England and beyond.
