What is another name for the Magna Carta?

  1. The Document of Rights

  2. The Great Charter of Freedoms

  3. The Ancient Charter

  4. The Fundamental Laws

The correct answer is: The Great Charter of Freedoms

The Magna Carta is a historic document that was created in the year 1215 in England. It is often referred to as the "Great Charter of Freedoms" as it was written to limit the power of the King and establish certain rights and freedoms for the people. Option A, C, and D are incorrect because they either do not accurately describe the purpose or significance of the Magna Carta or they are not commonly used names for it. While option A does mention rights, it does not specify that it was created to limit the power of the King. Option C, referring to the Magna Carta as the "Ancient Charter," downplays its significance and historic impact. Option D, calling it the "Fundamental Laws," is too vague and does not accurately capture the specific purpose of the Magna Carta. Overall, option B is the most accurate and commonly used name for the Magna Carta.
