A
It required English monarchs to be born in foreign countries.
B
It said that only kings could rule England.
C
It said that monarchs had to respect certain basic rights of citizens.

Explanation

The Magna Carta, agreed to in 1215, limited the king’s power and established that the monarch had to follow certain laws and respect basic rights. It did not give monarchs absolute power; instead, it helped establish that rulers were subject to the law. Therefore, the correct choice is “It said that monarchs had to respect certain basic rights of citizens.”
