What is the Magna Carta also known as?

  1. The Document of the Land

  2. The First Constitution

  3. The Great Charter of Freedoms

  4. The Royal Decree

The correct answer is: The Great Charter of Freedoms

The Magna Carta is known as the Great Charter of Freedoms because it was a document that laid out the rights and privileges of English citizens and limited the power of the monarchy. While options A and B may seem possible, they do not accurately represent the significance or content of the Magna Carta. Option D is incorrect as the Magna Carta was not a royal decree, but rather a document created by the people to hold the monarchy accountable. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate and commonly used term to refer to the Magna Carta.
