Right.
its c
C. It was written to limit the powers of King James II and to reinforce freedom of speech and fair election processes.
Yes, you are correct. The accurate answer is c) It was written to limit the powers of King James II and to reinforce freedom of speech and fair election processes.
To arrive at this conclusion, we can analyze the options and eliminate the ones that are not accurate:
a) It was written to punish King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella for their role in persecuting Protestants during the Spanish Inquisition.
This option is not accurate because the English Bill of Rights was written in 1689 and King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella were rulers of Spain during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Their actions during the Spanish Inquisition would not directly lead to the writing of the English Bill of Rights.
b) It was written to stop the tyrannical practices of King Henry VIII and his institution of the Anglican Church.
This option is not accurate because the English Bill of Rights was also written after the reign of King Henry VIII, who ruled from 1509 to 1547. The primary purpose of the English Bill of Rights was not specifically targeting King Henry VIII or his establishment of the Anglican Church.
d) It was written in opposition of Louis XIV’s raising of taxes to pay for the construction of the Palace of Versailles.
This option is also not accurate because the English Bill of Rights was not a response to Louis XIV's actions or the construction of the Palace of Versailles. It was a document created in England to address internal issues within the English monarchy.
Therefore, the accurate answer is c) It was written to limit the powers of King James II and to reinforce freedom of speech and fair election processes.
