Magna Carta, which means 'The Great Charter', is one of the most important documents in history as it established the principle that everyone is subject to the law, even the king, and guarantees the rights of individuals, the right to justice and the right to a fair trial.

The Magna Carta is the major source of traditional English respect for individual rights and liberties. Basically, it was a contract between the king and the nobles of England. It contained certain important principles which limited the power of the English monarch over his subjects. It implied that monarchs had no right to rule in any way they pleased and were forced to govern according to law; which is essentially saying that all most obey the law even the king, which is an important part of modern liberties and justice.
