I did not know that the Magna Carta was the gateway for constitutions and even our own bill of rights. It is interesting that the Magna Carta was written to limit King John's liberties, and he even signed it himself.

This emphasizes why there needs to be limits and constraints to governing powers. If there no guidelines, government officials can run with no uniformity and people would not know what to expect.

Do you know if King John made any modifications to the Magna Carta before signing it?
