Question 14 • Social Studies 8 - LIU Summer

How did King John’s actions affect the creation of the Magna Carta?

Answer

A

His failures led the barons to demand limitations on his power.

B

His arguing with the nobles led the barons to remove him from power.

C

His treatment of the nobles led the barons to demand the separation of government branches.

D

His victory in the war led the barons to sign a peace treaty explaining their rights.

Explanation

King John’s military failures, heavy taxes, and abuses of power angered many English barons. They pressured him to accept the Magna Carta in 1215, which placed limits on the king’s authority and affirmed certain rights. The barons did not remove John from power or establish a separation of government branches.
