Question

use the drop - down menus to complete the statements about english government. in 1215, king john was forced to sign a document called the magna carta. the document signed by king john established rights for citizens. the kings power to declare war, raise taxes, establish a parliament was limited

Explanation:

The Magna Carta in 1215 was a key document limiting the king's power and giving rights to citizens. One of the main areas of power - limitation was over raising taxes. Before the Magna Carta, the king could levy taxes at will, but the Magna Carta required the king to seek the consent of a council in some tax - related matters. Declaring war was not the main power limited by the Magna Carta in 1215, and the Magna Carta was not about establishing a parliament (though it had long - term implications for the development of parliamentary institutions).

Answer:

raise taxes
