Sagot :

Answer:

The Magna carta is a charter adopted by King John of England on June 15, 1215, forced by the arms of the English nobility. It reaffirmed the importance of the principle of bringing the king's power within the framework of the law. The charter takes the form of a bilateral agreement between the king and the nobility. In it the nobility was secured against the imposition of new taxes by giving the Parliament the power to introduce new taxes, the Church gained the freedom to elect new bishops, and the subjects were guaranteed that they would be arrested and punished only by jury decision.
