The correct chronological order of the founding documents that have shaped modern democracies is as follows:
- Magna Carta (1215)
- English Bill of Rights (1689)
- U.S. Declaration of Independence (1776)
- U.S. Bill of Rights (1791)
- Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (1789)
This sequence reflects the historical development of democratic principles, starting with the Magna Carta, which limited the power of the monarchy, and culminating in documents that established rights and democracy in the United States and influenced revolutionary movements in France and elsewhere.
