What are the similarities between the Enlightenment, Magna Carta, and the English Bill of Rights? I’ll mark brainliest!!
Hatshy [7]
The similarities between them all is they all limited the king’s/queen’s power. The Magna Carta limited the power by stating the king had to follow the laws of the land. The bill of rights limited the king’s power and created separation of powers. The enlightenment limited the power by using logic and reason which led to the people to become less loyal to their rulers.
