Question 18 • World History

As part of the Magna Carta, England’s Parliament had the power to

Answer
A
approve or reject the king’s proposals.
B
pass legislation even if the king did not like it.
C
choose a new king if it was dissatisfied with the monarch’s actions.
D
pass legislation so long as the king approved it.

Explanation

The Magna Carta limited the king’s authority and helped establish that the monarch could not raise certain taxes without the agreement of the barons, a principle that later strengthened Parliament’s role. Parliament could approve or reject the king’s proposals, but the Magna Carta did not give it the power to choose a new king or pass laws without royal approval. The best answer is A, “approve or reject the king’s proposals.”
