A Medieval English charter of 63 clauses, it has become one of the most famous legal documents in history. Those who wrote the American Declaration of Independence claimed to have been inspired by it. Parliaments the world over look to it as an early affirmation of their right to govern. But what is the Magna Carta, why was it written, and what were the consequences of its production?

To understand the Magna Carta, we must know about the monarch who was forced by his barons to sign it.
