<u>Unhappy and tired of King John’s tyrannic rule, a group of Barons of England C) forced him to sign the Magna Carta.</u> The Magna Carta was a charter of rights that established a more powerful parliament, stated the liberties of free men and that reduced the power of King John, whose rule was perceived as abusive especially toward people and in his imposition of high levies, even in the absence of war. Under this new framework, everybody, including the king, was subject to the law.
The King, having no better option, agreed to sign it on 15 June 1215.
This was caused by the bubonic plague also known as the 'black death'.Disease from flies that were on rats cause the population to wipe out.
