Answer
A

B
It focused on the right to a jury trial.
C
It focused on voting rights for men and women.

Explanation

The English Bill of Rights (1689) limited the monarch’s authority and strengthened the rights and role of Parliament. The Declaration of Independence similarly challenged the king’s power, arguing that a ruler who violates people’s rights can be opposed. Therefore, the best answer is “It focused on limiting the power of the monarch.”
