 * < This is a copy of the Magna Carta, signed by King John of England in the year 1215. The Magna Carta was designed in order to limit monarchs' power so that not one could rule over the others. This document was created because of conflict between King John and some rebellious aristocrats. When the aristocrats had finally had enough they gathered together to force King John to change certain rights of the people and provide better protection for them. As a result of this, the Magna Carta was created to help keep kings' power under control.
