Answer:

  2. B place limits on an English ruler’s power

Explanation:

  • The British Parliament started as a small council of clergymen, barons and other advisors that were chosen by the king to help him with many matters like taxes and other political affairs. The Parliament slowly expanded, including more advisors like Bishops, lords, sheriffs and other important people.  
  • The Magna Carta was the first document that tried to place limits to the power of King John. At that time important barons were tired of many attitudes of the King and they demanded protection of church rights, protection against illegal imprisonment, access to justice and limitations on taxes. The Magna Carta is known as the worlds first Constitution that limits the power of the Estate and gives liberty to the people.
