Answer
A
It focused on voting rights for men and women.
B
It focused on limiting the power of the monarch.
C

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.”
