King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta primarily because **he had raised taxes**. Additionally, his conflict with the nobility over issues such as land seizure and his arbitrary rule contributed to their rebellion, leading to the demand for the Magna Carta as a limitation on royal authority and to protect the barons' rights.
