The Magna Carta is a direct contract between the Monarch and the People, and nothing whatsoever to do with Parliament, neither the House of Commons nor the House of Lords, which did not exist in 1215 AD.
According to the procedures, if the people are being “unjustly governed”, they cannot directly petition the Monarch, but must ask 25 hereditary peers of the realm, NOT members of Parliament, to petition the monarch on the people's behalf.
The 25 peers must choose 4 of their number to present the petition to the monarch, who is obliged to accept it. If the monarch fails to act upon the petition within 40 days, the people have the right to form a new Magna Carta Government. That's it, in a nutshell
