The Magna Carta limited the king’s power in England. Why? Well, what happened was that English civilians felt King John was demanding too much money in taxes from them. In return, rebellious barons held him captive and forced him to sign the Magna Carta. This charter established many points, including these that follow:
1. Nobody, including an authoritarian official, is above the law.
2. Nobody can be unreasonably persecuted or exiled.
The Magna Carta also was a hidden beginning to democracy and women’s rights in England.
Your final answer: England was where the Magna Carta limited the king’s power. This would be option D.
The presidency of George Washington began on April 30, 1789, when Washington was inaugurated as the first President of the United States, and ended on March 4, 1797. Washington took office after the 1788–89 presidential election, the nation's first quadrennial presidential election, in which he was elected unanimously. Washington was re-elected unanimously in the 1792 presidential election, and chose to retire after two terms. He was succeeded by his vice president, John Adams of the Federalist Party.
Washington had established his preeminence among the new nation's Founding Fathers through his service as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War and as President of the 1787 Constitutional Convention. Once the Constitution was approved, it was widely expected that Washington would become the first President of the United States, despite his own desire to retire from public life. In his first inaugural address, Washington expressed both his reluctance to accept the presidency and his inexperience with the duties of civil administration, but he proved an able leader.
