Answer:FERDINAND DE LESSEPS,

IT WAS ONLY PARTLY COMPLETED DUE TO WIDE SCALE POLITICAL CORRUPTION AND LOSS OF LIVES.

Explanation: The first attempt to make a canal was the Panama canal which was sponsored by France, and handled by Ferdinand de Lesseps, it failed because of political corruption and loss of lives due to the under-estimated cost by the managers of the projects.

The loss of lives, coupled with the underestimation of the cost of the project with wide scale corruption led to a partly completed project.

How did the Magna Carta (1215) contribute to the development of the English
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

it limited the power of the monarch-limited the power of the monarch, Rule of Law-no one is above the law

Explanation:

Magna Carta was issued in June 1215 and was the first document to put into writing the principle that the king and his government was not above the law. It sought to prevent the king from exploiting his power, and placed limits of royal authority by establishing law as a power in itself.

The Bill of Rights is further accompanied by Magna Carta, the Petition of Right, the Habeas Corpus Act 1679 and the Parliament Acts 1911 and 1949 as some of the basic documents of the uncodified British constitution. A separate but similar document, the Claim of Right Act 1689, applies in Scotland. The Bill of Rights 1689 was one of the models for the United States Bill of Rights of 1789, the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 and the European Convention on Human Rights of 1950.

Along with the Act of Settlement 1701, the Bill of Rights is still in effect in all Commonwealth realms. Following the Perth Agreement in 2011, legislation amending both of them came into effect across the Commonwealth realms on 26 March 2015.
