At the age of 14 she was sent to marry King James IV of Scotland, a man 16 years her senior. Though not intentionally a love match the two did come to have strong affection for each other.

How did Henry VIII justify his power?
Yes that is one of the reasons that Henry the VIII broke with Rome here are some other answers Why did Henry VIII break from Rome? Some people in England and Europe were starting to become unhappy with the Catholic Church and wanted it to change. Martin Luther, a German reformer, had published an argument that criticised the Pope of tyranny throughout Europe, causing the German reform and although Henry had criticised Luther's arguments, English scholars saw them as valid and believed the Catholic government to be corrupt. Henry VIII believed that he needed a son to make sure that the Tudor dynasty survived. Although he had a son while married to Catherine, it was illegitimate - I . e born out of wedlock - as he had an affair with Elizabeth Blount. The son, Henry Fitzroy, was made the duke of Richmond at the age of 4 - Henry tried to make him heir to the throne outside the traditional methods.

What was the purpose of the Magna Carta?
The Magna Carta was a document guaranteeing basic political rights in England.
Magna Carta is Latin for "Great Charter". The document outlined rights which became part of English law and which are now the foundation of the constitution of all countries which speak English. It did not grant any new rights, but it did protect existing rights in writing. These rights included the basic right of anyone convicted of a crime to a jury trial; protection of private property; reasonable limits on taxes and a degree of guaranteed religious freedom. The Magna Carta was a significant influence on the long historical process that has resulted in the rule of constitutional law today.
The Magna Carta came about because King John (who only became king in 1199 when his brother King Richard I died) had a reputation for being tyrannical. His reign was marred by continuous war losses, beginning with the loss of Normandy to Philippe Auguste of France and ending with England torn by civil war. King John risked being forced out of power because of his mismanagement. By 1215, England's nobility was fed up with paying extra taxation. Members of this nobility rebelled and captured London. In June, the King met these barons at Runnymede on the River Thames to try and reach a peaceful settlement. The King reluctantly agreed to their demands by signing the Magna Carta on 15 June 1215. It was intended to limit the powers of the monarch and proclaimed certain liberties for "freemen".
Many later documents such as the US Constitution were based upon the Magna Carta.

Where are the Plantagenet family heirs?
how could these people possibly take the throne? they can't spell.
If you trace Queen Elizabeth's family tree, you will find that she can trace her bloodline back to the Plantagenets, back to John of Ghent, one of the younger sons of Edward III.
__
Many people can trace their lineage back to the Plantagenet kings. Most American presidents can trace their families back to King John. I'm assuming that you are wondering about the branch of the family who actually ruled.
In the end there were three sons, Edward IV, George of Clarence and Richard III. Edward's sons found to be illegitimate in the act of Titilus Regis, then disappeared shortly after his death and though they are presumed to have been killed for political reasons, the truth is we really don't know what happened to them.
The last Plantagenet king, Richard III, had one son, but he predeceased his father and died without issue.
George of Clarence was survived by one son Edward who died without issue in 1499. Edward's sister, Margaret Pole, was beheaded by Henry VIII.
Who was Jane Grey that King Edward put in the line of succession of the throne?
She was fourth in line to the throne after her mother and Henry VIII's two daughters, because she was his great niece. If you claimed that Henry's daughters were illegitimate, as Henry himself liked to claim, and as her mother waived her right, Lady Jane was next in line. It was convenient that she should be Queen because she was a Protestant.
It depends on the king not all kings are the same like normal people, they can be different from others
