Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter," literally "Great Paper"), also called Magna Carta Libertatum ("Great Charter of Freedoms"), is an English charter originally issued in 1215. Magna Carta was the most significant early influence on the long historical process that led to the rule of constitutional law today. Magna Carta influenced many common law documents, such as the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, and is considered one of the most important legal documents in the history of democracy.

Magna Carta was originally created because of disagreements between Pope Innocent III, King John, and his English barons about the rights of the King. Magna Carta required the king to renounce certain rights, respect certain legal procedures and accept that "the will of the king could be bound by law." Many clauses were renewed throughout the Middle Ages, and further during the Tudor and Stuart periods, and the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. By the early nineteenth century, most clauses had been repealed from English law.

There are a number of popular misconceptions about Magna Carta, such as that it was the first document to limit the power of an English king by law (it was not the first, and was partly based on the Charter of Liberties); that it in practice limited the power of the king (it mostly did not in the Middle Ages); and that it is a single static document (it is a variety of documents referred to under a common name). Nonetheless, rights established by the Magna Carta have subsequently become fundamental principles of international human rights and it can be argued that democratic societies developed as a long-term consequence of this charter.

What was the link between the launch of Sputnik I and the National Defense Educational Act?
Molodets [167]

The National Defense Education Act was created in response to the launch of Sputnik I.

Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The National Defense Education Act (NDEA) was passed into law on 2nd September 1958, providing money to U.S. academic institutions throughout all grades

It provided extra financing to American academic institutions (schools, universities and research initiatives).

The Act was established directly following the release by the Soviet Union of the first-ever Sputnik satellite.  

It was a general sense of failure and a failure especially in comparison to the Soviet Union; it was designed as a push to carry on researching and winning the space among these two contending countries.
