The correct answer is C) Limited Government.

The principle of American Democracy that was established in the Magna Carta was limited government.

Magna Carta was the first document that put a limit on the absolute power of the monarch. King John of England signed the Magna Carta in 1215 in order to avoid a possible rebellion of the Barons. In the document, everybody was accountable to the law, including the King. Even today, Magna Carta is one of the most important documents in the UK government and has influenced other countries such as the United States.
