Question 1 • Social Studies 8 - LIU Summer

How did the US Constitution and the Magna Carta both limit the power of leaders?

Answer
A
Both gave people a voice in government.
B
Both created separate branches of government.
C
Both established checks and balances on the people.
D
Both formed judicial systems ruled by a congress.

Explanation

Both documents limited leaders by recognizing that government could not simply act without regard for the people it governed. The Magna Carta required the king to respect certain rights and consult a council in some matters, while the Constitution provides for elected representatives to make laws. The Constitution created separate branches, but the Magna Carta did not, so choice B does not describe both.
