The Magna Carta which was singed by King John of England on June 15, 1215 is a historical and landmark document that established modern democratic values. Through this document, the idea 'government can only do what the people allow it to accomplish' developed and shaped how governments function and use thier powers in a democratic state.

This concept is also called as 'popular sovereignity or consent of the people'.
