Answer:
For raising taxes
Step-by-step explanation:
The Magna Carta (June 1215) was a charter of rights that aimed to establish a more powerful parliament and reduce the power of King John, whose ruling was abusive, especially in his imposition of high levies, even in the absence of war. The document intended to stop this abuse, and many others, by making the monarch subject to the law, and by requiring him to obtain the approval of the “common counsel” of the Kingdom before he could levy taxes.
