Humanities Homework Help

I’m trying to learn for my History class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

The Magna Carta, also known as the Great Charter, was signed by King John at Runnymeade in a concession to his barons. What was the purpose of the Magna Carta? Who did the Magna Carta apply to? What legal changes were the barons trying to make or and what were they trying to emphasize to King John? How many times was it reissued? What has the Magna Carta become a symbol of? What other important documents in history are modeled on the Magna Carta? Is the Magna Carta a primary or secondary source? Explain your answer. What aspects of historical thinking are necessary to respond accurately to the questions above?
