Answer: D, England has a much stronger central legislature than France did.
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, let's first eliminate the obvious ones.
Socialism wasn't invented until the late 1800s, the date period is wrong, so eliminate C.
France during this time was invested in being an absolute monarchy under the Bourbon, taking on the previous centralization and monarchist policies the House of Valois did, so they did not democratize. Eliminate A.
Lastly, France had 18 million in 1600 while England had about 5 and a half. So, you can eliminate B.
That leaves choice D. The Magna Carta was introduced 400 years ago (in 1200s,) which gave Parliament more power.
