Before the Magna Carta in 1215, the balance of power in England predominantly rested with the monarchy, specifically King John, who wielded significant authority over the nobility and the church. The king's ability to levy taxes, make laws, and exercise military power often led to tensions with his barons, who sought greater autonomy and protection of their rights. This struggle culminated in the Magna Carta, which aimed to limit the king's power and establish certain legal protections for the nobility, thereby shifting the balance of power more towards the barons and laying the groundwork for future constitutional developments.
