Answer:

The country’s legal system should protect the rights of women.

Explanation:

Shirley Anita St. Hill Chisholm was the first woman of African-American origin to be elected to Congress in 1968. She was a promoter of the rights of women and civil liberties. On August 10, 1970, she gave the speech in the House of Representatives entitled "For the Equal Rights Amendment." She doubted the immediate effect of the legal framework to end sex discrimination in society. And stressed that laws should aim to discourage it because it does not cover those who are biased on a sex basis.

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.
