Answer:

Magna Carta and Preamble is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The preamble of the US constitution is the summary of the founding fathers intention for creating a federal government and also to ensure that the people of US live in a peaceful, well defended, safe and free nation. The preamble has no force in law, and doesn't grants power to the federal or state governments.

Magna Carta means great charter and contains promises made by the English king to its subjects. In the Magna Carta the king promised that he will deal with his subjects as per the custom of Feudal law, it is considered to be the first document of human freedom. It was signed by King John of England. It is important because it strengthened the English parliament.
