The statement which best describes the significance of the Magna Carta is it sets limits on the power of the British monarchy. It was one of the first written records of a structured government and society under the king.  

EXPLANATION:  

Magna Carta is the English Great Charter. This charter of English liberties was granted on June 15, 1215, by King John. Magna Carta was granted under the threat of civil war and reissued, with alterations in 1216, 1217, and 1225. Magna Carta served the foundation for people's rights in Anglo-American jurisprudence by documenting the liberties held by free men and stating the independent to be subject to the rule of law.  

In 1215, King John was forced to sign Magna Carta. King John was the king in 119 when the previous king who was his brother, King Richard the Lionheart died without children. Yet, King John had a bad temper and very cruel. He was hated by the English Barons.  

In 1215 English Baron decided to rebel because they thought they had had enough of John’s high taxes and personality. English Barons went to London, led by Baron Robert Fitzwalter and made negotiation with King John. On 15th June 1215, English Barons demanded King John to sign Magna Carta which stated that the king wasn’t above the land’s law and would protect the people's rights.

Answer:

<u>B. It set limits on the power of the British monarchy.</u>

Explanation:

The Magna Carta (1215) was a charter of rights written by a group of Barons of England that were tired of King John’s tyrannic rule. The charter established a more powerful parliament, granted some liberties of free men such as the right to a trial by jury before punishment and reduced the power of King John, whose rule was perceived as abusive especially toward people and in his imposition of high levies, even in the absence of war.

Its significance lies in the fact that it set limits on the power of the British monarchy by making the King subject to the law, meaning that from that point on, the British crown had to be accountable for their actions under the law, just like everyone else.
