Magna Carta was originally created because of disagreements between Pope Innocent III, King John and his English barons about the rights of the King. The Magna Carta made the king denounced some of his rights , and made him realize he was not above the law. It also made him respect certain legal procedures , and realize his will was bound by law.

basically the magna carta was to secure the rights of the English aristocracy because they felt the king had usurped too much of their power. The magna carta actually went through quite a few different versions as kings would gradually ignore it then have to restate it at least in part to keep the nobility from revolting.
It did secure some freedoms such as rights of widows and wards, but its main focus was on the barons and their rights to hold courts and to approve of things going on in the kingdom such as taxes before the king could levy them.

The magan Carta was the cornerstone for the future British Constitution. Many later attempts to draft constitutional forms of government, including the United States Constitution, trace their lineage back to the Magna Carta

A) The Magna Carta was written so that King John wouldn't take complete control over everyone. Citizens felt like King John was over-using his power, and decided that they needed to do something about it. The Magna Carta was made so that later Kings and Queens as well as current Royalties could not over-use their power. Thus, the Magna Carta was created.

b) One key argument was that King John was not using his power correctly. Popes, bishops, and barons thought that he was overusing his power. He also had many enemies in the Church, as well as in the Baron group. King John also placed heavy and unnecessary taxes upon the citizens, which made many people dislike him.

c) The Magna Carta had a huge effect on future rulers, because due to the Magna Carta, if future rulers wanted to over-use and abuse their power, they couldn't! Also, many constitutional forms of government were sparked by the Magna Carta. This basically just means that the Magna Carta gave them ideas to create new governments and laws.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is sentence D)

Explanation:

the last sentence portrays an audience who had yet to visit Dharavi and who had a wrong idea about how it looked and what it was like.

The sentence reads "I could see that they all thought Dharavi was spectacular to look at..."

So it's safe to say that amongst the other sentences, the first three words "I could see" can be interpreted to mean that the tour guide just realised there was an opportunity.

Cheers.

Leviafan [203]

The slavery was a peculiar institution because the slaves used to show in the market as goods where they presented a pen or non-living things in the row.

Explanation:

The expansion and high demand of cotton increased the demand of labor. These workers (salves) were not paid by their owners. Their owners used them as a commodity and not as human being. They used to work for long working hours without any leave or other facility at the work place.

Critics of capitalism pointed to an trait of capitalism that they saw as a big problem what was their main problem with capitali

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The critique of capitalism refers to views and theories that criticize the economic order that spreads with industrialization, which is based on private property, market economy, capital accumulation, dependent wage labor and the individual pursuit of profit, either in principle or in individual aspects.

Hardly different from capitalism itself, the history of criticism of capitalism dates back to the 19th century. The criticism is expressed in individual elements of capitalism such as money and interest management, private ownership of means of production and maximization of profit as well as the consequences attributed to them such as exploitation and impoverishment of the working class.

Practical criticism of capitalism can manifest itself in the establishment of cooperatively organized companies and banks or alternative economic sectors as well as in the partial or full takeover of individual economic segments by actors who pursue less individual pursuit of profit than tasks and goals oriented towards the common good.
