Magna Carta or the greater charter was written by a group of barons in the 13th century to protect their rights and property against a tyrannical king (King John 1).
It was issued in June 1215 and was the first document to claim the principle that the king and his government were not above the law. It was written by the English nobles to prevent the king from exploiting his power and placed limits on royal authority by establishing law as a power in itself.
It is concerned with many grievances and practical matters relevant to the feudal system at the time. The king consented to their demands in order to prevent a civil war.
Magna Carta's original clauses that are still part of British law include legal concepts like the ban on cruel punishments, trial by a jury of one's peers, and the idea that justice should not be sold or unnecessarily delayed.

While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling our present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom, if ever, do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all of the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would be engaged in little else in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I would like to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms.
I think I should give the reason for my being in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the argument of "outsiders coming in"
Ooo sure, I’m down to play :)
