Magna Carta (1215 A.D)

Q:So King John, Who made you sign the magna carta, and why?

A: Well,  An English army made me sign it, so that I would have to obey the law that they made.

Q: What Was the point of the magna carta?

  A: the point of this was to clarify the King’s power over the church, clergymen, and the people of certain towns and that the states got control over the barons. But a couple weeks after he signed it he rejected it and didn't want to follow it, and this started a civil war called the First Barons’ War, during this war King John was killed.

Q: Why is the magna carta important?

A: The Magna Carta is important because it showed that the people wanted to have some responsibility.
