What is the Magna Carta?????? x?

The Magna Charta is a statement signed by King John at Runnymede England when the nobles forced him to allow the nobles to be tried by their peers. A peer was a noble, It did not mean that the common people could by tried by other people. They still would be tried by the peers of the realm...which are the nobles. As time went by the interpretation of the doent was changed to mean trail by a jury of your equals.
