"What was the significance of the Magna Carta?"
The Magna Carta was a document that played a major role in shaping the way that we view law today. It was a document that stated what the king couldn't do. It was supposed to hinder the king from doing that which was potentially harmful. Before this document, kings had hindered the power of the public, but what about the king's power? Who had hindered his power? It was time for a change, and the Magna Carta helped to bring this about.
