Question

which constitutional principle is represented by these two influential documents?
magna carta
english bill of rights
a natural law
b limited government
c republicanism
d separation of powers

Explanation:

The Magna Carta limited the power of the English monarchy by establishing that the king was not above the law and had to respect certain legal rights. The English Bill of Rights further restricted the powers of the monarchy, ensuring that the government's authority was not absolute. Both documents are foundational in the concept of limiting the power of the governing body, which is the essence of limited government. Natural law refers to moral principles governing human behavior from nature/reason (not directly about limiting government power here). Republicanism is about representative government. Separation of powers divides government into branches (not the main focus of these two documents).

Answer:

B. Limited Government
