Magna Carta Magna Carta (or Great Charter) is a charter of human rights. It is a foundation stone of constitutional and parliamentary democratic government in Britain and in countries that have adopted British law, including Australia. The document was signed and sealed by King John of England at Runnymede, near Windsor, on 15 June 1215. Several versions were to follow, including the 1297 reissue by King Edward I. Only four copies of the 1297 version are in existence, including one purchased by the Australian government in 1952 which is now on display in Parliament House, Canberra.
