<em>The Magna Carta, the Petition of Right and the English Bill of Rights led the English government to develop a political system in which</em><em> 1. rulers were responsible to the people. </em>
Explanation:
The English political system has developed throughout history. Three of the pillars of this system are:
<u>The Magna Carta</u> (1215) -embodies the principle that the King is subject to English law and that his powers are limited.
<u>The Petition of Rights</u> (1689) -establishes that the law, and not the King, protects the rights of Englishmen.
<u>The English Bill of Rights</u> (1689) -strictly limits the power of monarchy and defined inalienable civil and political liberties.
These three pillars, then, helped develop a political system in which the rights and duties of English noblemen are defined, the powers of the monarch are limited, and they are all responsible to the people.
We have learned about the ancient civilizations of India and China. If I were a leader of a new civilization, I would support representative democracy, as it is a type of democracy founded on the principle of elected officials representing a group of people.
