Answer:

The Magna Carta started the process of disqualifying divine right to rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

When King John I was forced by the nobility in 1215 to sign the Magna Carta, it was a turning point in the ideas of government and monarchy. No longer could tyranny go unnoticed; now in England it was held (at least a little) in check by Parliament, a body of nobles who now had a say in the government.

It put a chink in the royal armor and laid a foundation for the principles of representative government.
