Which principle established by the Magna Carta does this excerpt reflect?
Answer:
Nobody, not even the king, is above the law.
Explanation:
The Magna Carta is a political and legal document drawn up in June 1215, based on the requirements of the English nobility to King John I, aimed at protecting a number of legal rights and privileges of the free population of medieval England. It consists of 63 articles that govern the issues of taxes, fees and feudal duties, the judiciary and legal proceedings, the rights of the English Church, cities and merchants, inheritance law and guardianship. A number of articles of the Charter contained rules aimed at restricting royal power by introducing special state bodies into the country's political system, which had the authority to take actions to force the king to restore violated rights.
The immediate adoption of the Carta Magna was preceded by a large-scale confrontation between the king and the English barons, supported by all free classes. Despite the fact that John I, forced to approve it, soon refused to implement it, subsequently a number of its provisions in one form or another were repeatedly confirmed by other English monarchs.
The Magna Carta's norms used a number of progressive principles, such as the compliance of officials with the law, proportionality of action and punishment, conviction only in court, inviolability of property, freedom to leave the country and return to it and others. Therefore, the Magna Carta was a limit to monarchical absolutism in England, through which the legal system was put above the figure of the crown.

During the early Middle Ages, the Vikings invasion contributed to the end of which great European empire?
Answer:
The North Sea Empire
Explanation:
The Viking presence dwindled until 1066, when the invading Norsemen lost their final battle with the English at Stamford Bridge. The death in the battle of King Harald Hardrada of Norway ended any hope of reviving Cnut's North Sea Empire; it is because of this, rather than the Norman conquest, that 1066 is often taken as the end of the Viking Age. Nineteen days later, the Normans, themselves descended from Norsemen, invaded England and defeated the weakened English army at the Battle of Hastings.

B.
individual states, who are not beholden to the Federal Constitution.
C. the President
D.
the rights of others; exercising your rights cannot violate those of others.
Answer:
A. the federal government; the Constitution heavily restricts individual rights.
Explanation:
The concept of the social contract and individual rights derives from the works of philosophers such as Locke, Rousseau, Hobbes, and Hume. According to the contract theory the authority of the state is derived from the consent of the governed to be ruled by the state. And therefore individuals as per the contract agree to surrender to the government certain freedoms and rights which in return guarantee rights such as liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
the rights of others; exercising your rights cannot violate those of others.
Explanation:
While most actions are permissible under a social contract, you cannot violate the rights of others. The primary justification for restrictions on freedom in a social contract should be to protect the rights of others.
