D. the heavy taxes imposed by King John was one of the factors that led to the signing of the Magna Carta.

England was not always a Constitutional monarchy which means that at some point, the monarch was able to do whatever they wanted.

In the 13th century, King John imposed heavy taxes on the people and the barons and nobles so that he may pay for the various wars he was fighting and if they didn't pay, he could imprison them.

These Nobles captured London and made King John sign the Magna Carta which had provisions such as:

  • reduced payments of taxes by the barons
  • freedom from imprisonment for the barons and,
  • access to swift justice for all

Conclusively speaking therefore, the high taxes imposed by King John contributed to the signing of the Magna Carta.
