What was one similarity between the bill of rights and the Magna Carta?

A. Both outlined a structure that gave the government the right to tax its citizens
B. Both established a detailed justice system
C. Both provided guidelines for ensuring basic citizen rights
D. Both were based on the premise that the states should have more power

In my book it tells me that me that they were both made to limit the power of the government, so I think it's B?

Ok, I believe the answer is C. I thought I was right. (T-T)

You are correct that both the Bill of Rights and the Magna Carta were created to limit the power of the government. However, the question asks for a similarity between the two documents, not the purpose of their creation.

Let's analyze the answer choices:

A. Both outlined a structure that gave the government the right to tax its citizens: This answer is incorrect because neither the Bill of Rights nor the Magna Carta specifically addressed taxation.

B. Both established a detailed justice system: This answer is incorrect because the Magna Carta focused on establishing principles of due process and fair trial, while the Bill of Rights focused on protecting individual rights and freedoms. So, this answer is not a similarity between the two documents.

C. Both provided guidelines for ensuring basic citizen rights: This answer is correct. Both the Bill of Rights and the Magna Carta aimed to protect the rights and liberties of citizens. While the Magna Carta focused mainly on the rights of the nobility, it laid the foundation for future documents that would protect the rights of broader segments of society.

D. Both were based on the premise that the states should have more power: This answer is incorrect because the premise behind the Magna Carta was to limit the power of the monarchy, not to give more power to the states.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Both the Bill of Rights and the Magna Carta provided guidelines for ensuring basic citizen rights.

I agree with I'm so confused

So the right answer is B? My brither says we are all wrong and it's D

Between three of you, you have one right answer. So confused, read your textbook to find the right answer. Hint: your "brither" is wrong.

STOP RIGHT THERE

WE SHOULD HAVE PRIVATE ANSWERING
THIS IS CHEATING
