question 1 10 pts which of these royal powers did the magna carta limit? the power to tax the power to declare war the power to enforce the law the power to make alliances
The Magna Carta (1215) was a significant document that began to limit the power of the English monarchy. One of its key aspects was related to taxation. Clause 12 of the Magna Carta stated that "No scutage [a form of tax] or aid shall be imposed on our kingdom, unless by common counsel of our kingdom". This was an early step in restricting the king's ability to tax without some form of consultation (initially mainly with the barons). While the Magna Carta had other provisions related to justice (e.g., "To no one will we sell, to no one will we deny or delay right or justice"), there was no major clause directly limiting the power to declare war, enforce the law in a general sense (more about justice in legal proceedings), or make alliances.
