What was the Magna Carta? the first European constitution that prevented the king from having power
the first European constitution that explained the rights of the people
a contract that was between the people and the barons and provided equality for all
a contract that was between the barons and the government and prevented unfair trials

The Magna Carta was a contract signed by king John in 1215. It implied that the king would not violate rights again. Why Magna Carta was important because it limited power of rulers. It also introduced the idea or writing humans rights. The reason the Magna Carta was signed and existed as a contract because the abuse of power by tyrant. The people wanted equality in the power they wanted a say so.

I hope this helps :)
