Answer:Magna Carta Libertatum, commonly called Magna Carta, is a charter of rights agreed to by King John of England at Runnymede, near Windsor, on 15 June 1215. First drafted by the Archbishop of Canterbury to make peace between the unpopular King and a group of rebel barons, it promised the protection of church rights, protection for the barons from illegal imprisonment, access to swift justice, and limitations on feudal payments to the Crown, to be implemented through a council of 25 barons. Neither side stood behind their commitments, and the charter was annulled by Pope Innocent III, leading to the First Barons' War. ;

The Constitution and the Magna Carta share the goal of limiting governmental power to protect the rights of individuals. The Magna Carta established this principle in 1215 by curbing the absolute power of the monarchy, while the Constitution solidified this idea in the U.S. by creating a government with checks and balances. Both documents emphasize the importance of the rule of law and accountability in governance.
