Yes, I am sure.
Both the Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution) and the Magna Carta (a charter agreed upon in 1215) were significant documents that aimed to protect certain individual rights and limit the powers of government. The Magna Carta laid the foundation for the concept of due process and the protection of certain rights against arbitrary authority, while the Bill of Rights explicitly enumerates individual freedoms and rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and the right to a fair trial.
Therefore, option C is the correct choice, as both documents provided guidelines for ensuring basic citizen rights.
