Detailed explanation-1: -Magna Carta was issued in June 1215 and was the first document to put into writing the principle that the king and his government was not above the law. It sought to prevent the king from exploiting his power, and placed limits of royal authority by establishing law as a power in itself.
Detailed explanation-2: -Magna Carta was written by a group of 13th-century barons to protect their rights and property against a tyrannical king. It is concerned with many practical matters and specific grievances relevant to the feudal system under which they lived.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Magna Carta (1215) Among them was the right of the church to be free from governmental interference, the rights of all free citizens to own and inherit property and to be protected from excessive taxes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The Magna Carta, being a charter between rebellious barons and King John of England signed in 1215, did not in any way end feudalism or even damage it. Indeed it was instead a blow for the feudal vassals against the potentially centralizing authority of the King.
Detailed explanation-5: -Key Points. The Magna Carta was signed by King John in June 1215 and was the first document to impose legal limits on the king’s personal powers. Clause 61 stated that a committee of twenty five barons could meet and overrule the will of the king-a serious challenge to John’s authority as ruling monarch.
