Correct choices:
- It established the ideas of precedent and common law.
- It ended the idea of divine right of kings.
- It gave an example of a representative government body.
Why: The English constitutional development that produced Parliament also carried the common-law/stare decisis tradition used by American jurists, produced the Glorious Revolution and English Bill of Rights which curtailed the doctrine of divine right and affirmed parliamentary sovereignty, and supplied the model of a representative legislature. The last statement is incorrect: Parliament’s rise reinforced the rule of law and constitutional limits on rulers; it did not show that government officials were above the law.
