Question

unit 2 summative: a new nation
what was one major impact of the magna carta (1215) on government power?
it allowed the king to ignore the advice of nobles.
it made the king and absolute monarch who created all laws
it limited the kings power and protected certain rights.
it gave the king total control over the british people.

Explanation:

The Magna Carta was a significant document. It was not about increasing the king's power (so options that suggest the king can ignore nobles, be an absolute monarch, or have total control are wrong). Instead, it was a step towards limiting the king's power and protecting certain rights (like the right to a fair trial).

Answer:

It limited the king's power and protected certain rights.
