What did the Magna Carta establish?

  1. The right to vote for all men

  2. Basic rights for English nobles against their king

  3. The establishment of the English Parliament

  4. Freedom of religion

The correct answer is: Basic rights for English nobles against their king

The Magna Carta established basic rights for English nobles against their king. This historic document, signed by King John in 1215, introduced the concept of limiting the power of the monarchy and granting rights to the nobility. Option A is incorrect because the document did not provide the right to vote for all men, only a select group of nobles. Option C is incorrect because while the Magna Carta did lead to the establishment of the English Parliament, it did not explicitly state this in its contents. Option D is incorrect because the document did not specifically guarantee freedom of religion. It focused more on the rights of the nobles and limiting the king's power.
