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.
The correct answer is C) the impact of the French Revolution.
Thomas Jefferson's reaction to the Jay Treaty as expressed in the letter was most directly a reflection of ongoing debates in the US over the impact of the French Revolution.
The Jay Treaty was signed by the government of the United States and Great Britain on November 19, 1794, in London, England. It was signed trying to resolve many difficulties and conflicts between the two nations after the Revolutionary War of Independence.
In a letter written to James Monroe on September 6, 1795, Thomas Jefferson expressed his concerns about the articles included in the treaty and the repercussions to the French government.
Justice is usually important to everyone no matter what religion.
