The Magna Carta consisted of a bunch of documents (well, scrolls...) that basically forced King John to sign away a lot of his power. It had relatively little impact on life when it was first signed during the Middle Ages, but eventually led to more democratic governments and more equal power.
You're lucky I agree with you that it's confusing. But really, do your own homework and do a google search for awhile. It's much faster than asking on here.
It's also a great discussion starter, if you've got a history teacher that loves to talk. Ask him to explain it in simple english; it's actually quite an interesting topic when you go more in-depth.
Google (aka the site that everyone knows about but nobody actually uses anymore):
EDIT: I don't think I can explain it in plainer english.. the first paragraph of my answer IS my explanation. I added the search link because a simple Google search yields tons of sites that explain the concept many ways.

it was pretty much to the king of England, King George i believe.
it basically stripped away a lot of his power and a parliment was created.
a parliment is a group of people who looked over the king.
like in the US how we have representives and stuff to look over the president
hope i helped!
