Magna Carta

Today i will be interviewing King John. Date november 5, 1216.

Emily- hello King John! how are you?
King John- Hey1 i am doing good! lets get started with these questions!

Q: So what is going on with this Magna Carta? can you tell me the story?
A: i would love to tell you the story. People started getting mad when i lost some land to France, when i also lost power with the people, and then when i lost againts the nobles. Because of this the Pope bands religion. The people then forced me to sign the Magna Carta in 1215.

Q: What is the Margna Carta?
A: the Margna Carta states the rights of the barbains and that all the kings must obey the laws along with everyone else.

Q: did you have any acchivements?
A: i think one of the things that i did well was the due process of law. which is the rules that government must follow fair and impartial trials. now the king can not raise taxes unless the grand councle agrees. then parliament also come along and they take care of taxes and expenses. so with all the bad things that happened to me there was still some good things like these.

Emily- Thanks for talking to me!
King John- anytime:)
