Answer:

The Magna Carta, the Petition of Right and the English Bill of Rights led the English government to develop a political system in which 1. rulers were responsible to the people.

Step-by-step explanation:

The English political system has developed throughout history. Three of the pillars of this system are:

  • The Magna Carta (1215) -embodies the principle that the King is subject to English law and that his powers are limited.
  • The Petition of Rights (1689) -establishes that the law, and not the King, protects the rights of Englishmen.
  • The English Bill of Rights (1689) -strictly limits the power of monarchy and defined inalienable civil and political liberties.

These three pillars, then, helped develop a political system in which the rights and duties of English noblemen are defined, the powers of the monarch are limited, and they are all responsible to the people.
