    Magna Carta was a charter agreed to by King John of England in 1215 that placed limits on the power of the king. It was forced upon King John by rebel barons after he had lost the First Barons' War. The barons rebelled against King John's oppressive taxes and seizure of their properties. Magna Carta established for the first time that neither the king nor anyone else was above the law. It influenced many other documents that shaped modern democracy and human rights such as the United States Constitution.
