Answer: simply to limit the control of the King ! The barons were unhappy with the way the country was being run , particularly with the high taxes increasing and the wars he used the taxes to pay for ( he being King John ) he kept losing them

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply your own knowledge to the question and make sure you consider both the long and short terms of the Magna Carta. Good luck with your history ! And remember , I’ve done the hard bit here , you just explain it ✨
