Question

Which of the following sets most accurately matches the important document with the concepts it embodies?

Answer 1

A) Magna Carta: limited power of rulers, trial by jury

Explanation:

This document expressed that the king was not above the law. It essentially prevented the king from exploiting his power (thus limited the power of rulers). Furthermore, the Magna Carta was the origin of the jury trial (which the US implemented into their government).
