Explanation:
Magna Carta Libertatum, better known as the Magna Carta, was a letter granted by John I of England at Runnymede, near Windsor, on June 15, 1215.

The document promised the protection of ecclesiastical rights, the protection of barons from illegal detention, access to immediate justice, and limitations of feudal fees in favor of the Crown.

Explanation:
The Magna Carta was a document signed in June 1215 by King John and Barons to end the conflict between the King and the nobles. The nobles did not agree with his conduct and aimed to restrict his powers by determining that the King could not arrest, remove any person’s possessions and deprive anyone of standing in any way without the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land.
This means that the power of the King - that in that time represented the State - would have to bend to the Rule of Law.
