Answer:

A. the Magna Carta in 1215

Step-by-step explanation:

The Magna Carta was a documented drafted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and signed by the Church, the monarch, and the English barons (feudal lords).

This document established legal protections for the church and the barons, the right to a fair trial, and limits on royal power to tax. This document is considered the first English document to establish the principle of protected rights, and would inspire the English unwritten constitution, and the American constitution as well.
