<span>The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the second choice "The Obama administration withdrew most troops from Iraq and prepared for troop withdrawal from Afghanistan."</span><span>
For all of Obama’s efforts at rapprochement with much of the world, he—like George W. Bush—was a wartime president. With the situation in Iraq continuing to improve and the target date for ending U.S. combat operations there approaching, in February 2009 Obama increased the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan to 68,000 troops. Throughout his presidential campaign he had argued that the focus of U.S. military efforts should be in Afghanistan rather than Iraq, and, with the resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the military requested that Obama deploy<span> an additional 40,000 troops there. After carefully weighing the situation for three months, Obama choose to send an additional 30,000 troops, a decision that was criticized by many in his party.

I think that you just answered your own question in the question you asked.
The Magna Carta established the basis for representative democracy as it was the first attempt after the fall of the classical Graeco-Roman era of a form of parliament, where nobles would meet to deliberate the course of society,and advise the kings on policy issues. It was a paradigm shift from the absolute politics and power structures of dark Europe, forming to inspire future government discussions in England and USA.
Answer:
The well being of private citizens is more important.
Explanation:
The public domain has as its primary duty the defense of the interests of civil society. If the state is better organized, more robust, it can help society to flourish. However, the well being of the state is subservient to the wellbeing of each citizen, private interests. Furthermore, civil society is the source of governance insofar as i) government officials are elected from civil society and ii) public policy serves the private interests of the people. So in a society it is indispensable to have a more robust state and a better- served civil society, keeping in mind the order of importance.
