Best Answer

The Magna Carta is an English charter (or a list of laws and rights) that was originally written in 1215, and then was revised in 1297. The document was written by barons of King John of England who believed that his rule was in need of limitations because their rights were starting to be infringed upon.

Though much of the document has been changed and repealed, the Magna Carta has served has a symbol for many who have sought to keep their leaders from exerting too much power. For example, the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights were heavily influenced by the provisions of the Magna Carta.
