The correct answer is citizens.

The legislature is made up of the Senate and House of Representatives. These two bodies of Congress are voted on by the citizens. Members of the House of Representative are voted on every 2 years while members of the Senate are voted on every 6 years. This gives citizens the power to vote on the people that will be responsible for making federal laws.

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.

delhi has been greatly influenced by the reign of mughal dynasty .comment on the same on your own words
nadya68 [22]

The Muslim dynasty of Turkic-Mongol origin that ruled most of northern India from the early 16th to the mid-18th century. After that time it continued to exist as a considerably reduced and increasingly powerless entity until the mid-19th century. The Mughal dynasty was notable for its more than two centuries of effective rule over much of India, for the ability of its rulers, who through seven generations maintained a record of unusual talent, and for its administrative organization. A further distinction was the attempt of the Mughals, who were Muslims, to integrate Hindus and Muslims into a united Indian state.
