How & why does King John have his power limited? The Magna Carta How & why does King John have his power limited?

1066: William of Normandy invades England – claims English throne William ends feudalism and develops democracy Generations later, Henry II begins jury trials & common law (law based on past legal rulings) 1189: Henry’s son Richard strengthens these reforms 1199: Richard dies, has no children, power struggle for the crown but Richard’s brother John takes the crown John weakens democracy by starting unnecessary wars, raising taxes, limiting legal rights & fighting with the Church 1215: Nobles force John to sign the Magna Carta, which limits the King’s power & guarantees rights

Impact of the Magna Carta Church has freedom from King (separate Church & State) Citizens have a right to a fair & speedy trial No taxes on unless agreed by a council of elected citizens (Parliament) Punishment should fit the crime Person jailed must be told of the charges against them (Habeas Corpus)
