Answer 1

Option D is the answer.

Magna Carta was the ‘Charter of Rights’, signed by King John of England. It was an agreement between him and the dissatisfied class of Barons, whereby the King promised to protect Church rights, stop illegal imprisonment of Barons and provide quick justice and limit taxes to be paid by the Barons - to be controlled by a Council of 25 Barons.  

The Magna Carta was signed on 15 June, 1215.

Answer 2

The right did the English nobles gain when King John signed the Magna Carta was the Great Council could approve taxes proposed by the monarch.

Option (D).

Explanation:

• It can be said that there have been two rights given to the English nobility by Magna Carta, and then to people in England.

• Many of these rights have been central to our British and American democratic structures. The first "freedom" that was given under Magna Carts, was a jury trial. Innocence or guilt is then determined by the moral peers of the accused, not by the king or a judge who might be unethical or bloodthirsty.

• The second "right" is that the country's monarch, king, queen or president, is immune to the legislation. This is an executive power cap.
