Detailed explanation-1: -The Magna Carta (“Great Charter”) is a document guaranteeing English political liberties that was drafted at Runnymede, a meadow by the River Thames, and signed by King John on June 15, 1215, under pressure from his rebellious barons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Until Magna Carta the King of England was an absolute monarch, and in all practical ways his will was law. However, in June 1215 that all changed and for the first time everyone, including the monarch, was bound by the same statutes. Magna Carta had established the notion of rule of law.
Detailed explanation-3: -Magna Carta was hammered out in negotiations between the leaders of two armed parties – the king on one side and the rebel barons on the other. Neither side expected it to settle the matter, and both anticipated continued war between king and barons.
