Question 10 • GA-GSE 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 so long as the king approved it.
C
choose a new king if it was dissatisfied with the monarch’s actions.
D
pass legislation even if the king did not like it.

Explanation

The Magna Carta limited the king’s power, especially by requiring agreement from leading subjects for certain taxes. Over time, Parliament’s role developed to include considering and approving or rejecting the king’s proposals. It did not have the unrestricted power to pass laws against the king’s wishes, so A, “approve or reject the king’s proposals,” is the best answer.
