Respuesta :

Answer:

(A) Kings John's poor financial decision and loss of territory

Explanation:

I just did the assignment and got it right.

The events that sparked the Magna Carta were King John’s poor financial decisions and loss of territory.

The Magna Carta was created in 1215 and called for:

  • the church to be protected
  • justice to be implemented quickly
  • a limitation on the payments made by lords to the King

The Magna Carta came about as a result of King John acting as though his power was absolute. He made terrible decisions which ruined the finances of England and lost territory to the French.

In conclusion, the Barons and Lords forced the King to sign the Magna Carta to protect themselves from the effects of the King's financial mismanagement.
