Question
- what did the magna carta do?
limited the power of the monarchy
completely stripped monarchs of their power
increased the power of the monarchy
removed king louis xiv from power
The Magna Carta (1215) was a charter that established the principle that everyone, including the king, was subject to the law. It placed limits on the monarch's power. For example, it required the king to consult with the barons (through a council) before making certain decisions like raising taxes. It did not completely strip the monarch of power (as monarchs still had significant authority after it, just with some constraints). It also did not increase the monarch's power. And King Louis XIV was a French king (1638 - 1715), while the Magna Carta was an English document from 1215, so it had nothing to do with removing him from power.
