Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter", literally "Great Paper"), also called Magna Carta Libertatum ("Great Charter of Freedoms"), is an English charter originally issued in 1215. Magna Carta was the most significant early influence on the long historical process that led to the rule of constitutional law today. Magna Carta was originally created because of disagreements between Pope Innocent III, King John and his English barons about the rights of the King. Magna Carta required the king to renounce certain rights, respect certain legal procedures and accept that the will of the king could be bound by law.

La Grande Charte ou Magna Carta est une charte de 63 articles arrachée par le baronnage anglais au roi Jean sans Terre le 15 juin 1215 après une courte guerre civile notamment marquée par la prise de Londres, le 17 mai, par les rebelles. Les barons étaient excédés des exigences militaires et financières du roi et de ses échecs répétés en France à Bouvines et à la Roche-aux-Moines. Ce texte limite l'arbitraire royal et établit en droit l'habeas corpus qui empêche, entre autres, l'emprisonnement arbitraire. Il garantit les droits féodaux, les libertés des villes contre l'arbitraire royal et institue le contrôle de l'impôt par le Grand Conseil du Royaume. L'archevêque de Canterbury, Langton défend ardemment les barons, son nom restant le premier à avoir été apposé en qualité de témoin de la Grande Charte. Lorsque le pape excommunie les barons, Langton refuse de publier l'interdit et est suspendu par le pape.

La Carta Magna ("Gran Carta" en latín), también conocida como Magna Carta Libertatum es un documento inglés de 1215 que limitó el poder de los monarcas de Inglaterra, especialmente el del rey Juan sin Tierra, que la firmó, impidiendo así el ejercicio del poder absoluto. Fue el resultado de los desencuentros entre Juan, el Papa y los nobles ingleses sobre las prerrogativas del soberano. De acuerdo a los términos de la Carta Magna, Juan debía renunciar a ciertos derechos y respetar determinados procedimientos legales, reconociendo que la voluntad del rey estaría sujeta a la ley. Se considera a la Carta Magna como el primer capítulo de un largo proceso histórico que llevaría al surgimiento del constitucionalismo.
