Answer 1

The statement that best describes the development of England as a nation-state is:

"As the need for protection gradually decreased, feudalism was replaced by monarchs who ruled by laws and legal precedent. Eventually, Parliament became more powerful than the monarch."

This statement accurately reflects the historical transition from feudalism to a more centralized form of governance, where the power of Parliament gradually increased, especially after significant events such as the Magna Carta in 1215, which limited the powers of the monarch and laid the groundwork for parliamentary democracy.
