Did the Magna Carta bring a rightward or leftward shift to medieval English society?

While usually construed as a liberal document, due to reducing the power of the monarch, 13th century English monarchy was not absolute. In effect, the Magna Carta weakened the power of the English state in favor of a more primitive tribal system. Is this not regressive?

How are terms like rightward or leftward even applicable on this?

It set the stage for the parliament and habaes corpus.

Magna Carta didn't decentralize power, it just limited the power of centralized government. The power wasn't 'redistributed' towards the aristocracy.
