The then king of England, john, agreed to the Magna Carta, known as the charter of liberties. The greater charter as many called it, placed king John and other subsequent sovereigns in England, under a rule of law.
Many generations of Englishmen hail the magna carta as one of the major achievements in their history, which serves as a symbol of freedom from oppression.
