    Consider the following passages that seem to describe aspects of the Magna Carta. More than one of these passages is accurate. However, at least one is not accurate. Select all the passages that are TRUE.

    -The Magna Carta is the original source of the bedrock idea in the United States Constitution that all people owe a debt of public service in exchange for their freedom; in fact, the United States Constitution directly borrowed the Privileges and Freedoms Clause from the famous twelfth paragraph in the Magna Carta

    -This document is credited with establishing the principle that the English government, even with its king as its head of state, was subject to the rule of law, which is the essential idea upon which the United States Constitution is based

    -It was the Great Survey of much of England, completed in 1086 by order of the English King William I, the document marked a revolutionary step forward in recording public records, which allowed for improved government administration

    -English King John reluctantly agreed to sign and place his seal on the Great Charter at Runnymeade, England in 1215 in order to essentially make peace between himself and a group of disaffected English noblemen and barons

    Answer:

    -This document is credited with establishing the principle that the English government, even with its king as its head of state, was subject to the rule of law, which is the essential idea upon which the United States Constitution is based

    -English King John reluctantly agreed to sign and place his seal on the Great Charter at Runnymeade, England in 1215 in order to essentially make peace between himself and a group of disaffected English noblemen and barons

    These two passages are TRUE.

    Explanation:

    Magna Carta is among the most important documents in history, which states that all are subject to the law, also the King, which promises the rights of individuals, the rule of justice and the right to due process. Magna Carta means ' The Great Charter '

    Magna Carta remains an important symbol of freedom today, frequently referred to by political leaders and activists.

    Lord Denning defines it as "the greatest constitutional text ever-a cornerstone of the individual's right to rights, as opposed to the arbitrary power of the destroyer," and has tremendous respect in British and American legal societies.
