Well,Magna Carta is the document created by King John I,as a solution to the political crisis in 1215 because merchants forced him,and established that everybody,no matter if had power,had to obey the LAW.
This provided a new framework for the relationship between the king and his subjects,and also a new politic where everybody had to obey the law.
And what does it say that is so important? Magna Carta contained 63 clauses but only 3 clauses remain part of the English law,the third,and the most populart says:
"No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice."
Magna Carta changed everything and influenced the whole history because this was the first document that says that everyone had to obey the law,and after that,most of the goverments nowadays have a balanced power between the president and the rest of the people.
