The legislative body that resulted from the signing of the Magna Carta served what purpose?

Answer
A
It acted as a system of checks and balances.
B
It removed the monarch from the legislative process.
C
It transferred governing power to the barons.
D
It ensured that the voice of the people was heard.

Explanation

The Magna Carta limited the monarch’s authority and established a council that could hold the king accountable. That council was an early step toward Parliament, which served as a check on royal power. It did not remove the monarch from lawmaking or immediately give governing power to all the people.
