Answer:

a. magna carta

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a document granted by John I of England in Runnymede, near Windsor, on June 15, 1215, was first drafted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton, with the aim of making peace between the English monarch, with broad unpopularity, and a group of rebellious barons. The document promised the protection of ecclesiastical rights, the protection of barons against illegal detention, access to immediate justice and limitations of feudal tariffs in favor of the Crown.

The Magna Carta is still an important symbol of freedom, frequently cited by English-speaking politicians and activists and respected by British and American legal communities; the lawyer Tom Denning described it as ** the greatest constitutional document of all time the foundation of the freedom of the individual against the arbitrary authority of the despot **
