King John of England, who reigned from 1199 to 1216, had four primary powers: legislative, judicial, military, and fiscal. He could create laws, adjudicate disputes, command the military, and levy taxes. However, his heavy taxation and arbitrary rule led to widespread discontent, culminating in the Magna Carta of 1215, which aimed to limit his powers and protect the rights of his subjects. This landmark document is seen as a foundational step in the development of constitutional monarchy.

Why did the megna carta limit the power of the king?

The Barons of England where very concerned on how much the King was abusing his powers and their own diminishing powers. King John, to recover the loss of Normandy, he had placed huge financial demands on the Barons and John aggressively pursued his feudal rights over the barons. John also exploited royal justice, extracting huge fines and selling offices. He removed boroughs and farms from the control of the sheriffs and sold them. So overall, the Magna Carta is directed solely on the was John was financially driven, under which he abused the course of justice and the traditional administrative powers.
