a. kings should have unlimited power to rule.
b. the government should be controlled only by wealthy nobles.
c. the government must protect due process and fair trials.
d. people should support a monarchs divine right.

Explanation:

The Magna Carta limited the power of the monarchy and established the principle of due process. It influenced American colonists' views on government, emphasizing that the government should protect the rights of individuals, including due process and fair trials. Options A, B, and D go against the principles of the Magna Carta which was about limiting power (not giving unlimited power to kings or monarchs, and not just having wealthy nobles control the government).

Answer:

C. The Government must protect due process and fair trials.
