Explanation:

Question 45

• Option a: Magna Carta limited king's power, English Bill of Rights further restricted royal authority, and English Civil War resulted in reducing king's powers (e.g., establishment of parliamentary sovereignty).
• Option b: These events were not about protecting Catholic rights (e.g., English Bill of Rights had anti - Catholic elements in some contexts).
• Option c: These events were about domestic power struggles, not colonial empire creation.
• Option d: These events limited king's power, not Parliament's abuses. So the common effect is limits on English kings' powers.

• Option a: Enlightenment thinkers like Rousseau, Locke emphasized government's role to serve people.
• Option b: Natural rights (life, liberty, property) were a key Enlightenment idea (Locke, etc.).
• Option c: Reason as a problem - solving tool was central to Enlightenment (e.g., scientific method influence).
• Option d: Divine right of kings was a pre - Enlightenment, absolutist idea, opposing Enlightenment's focus on popular sovereignty and natural rights. So "Kings ruled by divine right" is not an Enlightenment idea.

Answer:

a. limits on the powers of English kings
