Answer:

Both limited the king's power and gave power to citizens.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Both of these are government power limits. The second commonality is that they are both written agreements that describe what governments can and cannot do.
  • Both the Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights are historically important documents; While Magna Carta was intended to act as a peace treaty between the troubled barons and King John
  • The English Bill of Rights ensured that the monarchy in England did not have too much accumulated power and thus empowered Parliament.
