The magna carta is most important for which reason?

b) it was the “great charter”
c) it created the first democracy in england
d) it put limits on the monarch’s powers

The correct answer is D. The Magna Carta is most important because it put limits on the monarch's powers.

Explanation:

The Magna Carta is a collection of legal acts restricting British public authority from 1215. It partly corresponds to the constitutions of other countries. The Magna Carta was originally enacted to limit the power of King John of England. Dissatisfied nobles felt they had to suffer financial injustice after the king lost many English lands in France, so they forced the king to sign the deeds. Magna Carta consisted of 63 sentences describing the privileges of the nobles, which the king promised to protect and respect.

The Magna Carta can be considered as the first version of human rights declarations and constitutions, from which all the later ones have evolved. The rights of the original version were mainly limited to "free men", but have since been extended to provide the whole population with ever greater protection against public authority.
