The writers of the Magna Carta or The Great Charter, King John and Stephen Langton were trying to get themselves and the public associated with the rebelling barons. The purpose of the Magna Carta was for the community to understand how the public dealt with the barons in an orderly manor.
In 1215 the Magna Carta was also called the Great Charter in Latin. The charter was signed in 1215 by King John at Runnymede near windsor castle. In 1214 it was a disastrous year for King John which inspired him to make the magna carta come into play. The magna carta promised laws that were good and fair. It states that everyone will have access to courts and that costs and money should not be an issue if someone wanted to take a problem to the law
