Question

Select the ideas that were introduced by the Magna Carta.

Sovereign power to the king

Women's rights

Democratic thought

Documentation of peoples' rights

Trial by jury

Answer 1

Correct selections:
- Democratic thought
- Documentation of peoples' rights
- Trial by jury

Brief explanations:
- Magna Carta (1215) limited the king's arbitrary power and introduced ideas that fed later democratic principles (rule of law, accountability).
- It formally recorded certain rights and protections for barons and free men, creating a precedent for documenting peoples' rights.
- It guaranteed legal protections such as judgment by peers and due process, a root of trial-by-jury practice.

"Sovereign power to the king" is opposite to what the Magna Carta did, and "Women's rights" were not a focus of the document.
