1.Magna carta laied the foundation of democracy 2. created by British nobles to lmited King John's taxing on them. 3. MI: Magna Carta limited the king's power and protected nobel's rights.

This goes under the column for colonists who used it to oppose taxing. Because English nobles created the magna carta to protect themselves from unresonable taxing,which it showed they, the English nobles themselves felt heavy taxing is unfair too, but now the English were doing the same thing to the colonies, so colonists should be able to oppose the taxes by using magna carta.
