The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, includes several key provisions aimed at limiting the power of the king and ensuring certain legal rights. Key clauses address issues such as the protection of church rights, fair taxation, due process, and the right to a fair trial. Notably, it established principles like the rule of law and the idea that the monarch is not above the law. While many clauses have been repealed or replaced, the Magna Carta remains a foundational document in the development of constitutional law.
