The Magna Carta, also known as the Great Charter, is a historical document that was signed by King John of England in 1215. Its significance lies in the fact that it limited the power of the monarchy and established the principle that everyone, including the king, was subject to the law. The Magna Carta is considered one of the foundations of modern constitutional government and individuals' rights. It has influenced the development of constitutional law and individual liberties in many countries around the world.
