The Magna Carta, Latin for "great charter," was written in 1215 and is a promise from King John of England to his subjects. It guaranteed that he would govern according to the law. The most prized clause of the Magna Carta granted that each citizen had rights that could not be sold or delayed. This clause allowed citizens a more direct path to justice, a path around the sometimes unjust barons. Prior to this, barons were intermediaries between the king and his subjects. The barons were responsible for enforcing and deciding laws. After the creation of the Magna Carta, this clause was adopted by many governments.
