The correct answer is D) he had arbitrarily and unlawfully jailed its enemies.
The inference that can be made about King John to explain why the writers of the Magna Carta included the passage is that he had arbitrarily and unlawfully jailed its enemies.
The passage reads: “No freemen shall be taken or imprisoned…or in any way destroyed…except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land.”
The Magna Carta was drafted by noble people of England that wanted to rebel against the tyranny of King Jhon. The Magna Carta was signed in 1215, and guaranteed the liberties of the English people, ended with the total domination of monarchies in England and made the King held accountable by the law.
