Answer:
An important effect of the Magna Carta on English government was that it limited the absolute power of the King.
Explanation:
Magna Carta was a 1215 document that limited the power of the monarchs of England, especially that of King John, who signed it, thereby impeding the exercise of absolute power. It resulted from disagreements between John, the Pope and the English barons about the prerogatives of the sovereign. According to the terms of the Magna Carta, John was to renounce certain rights and to respect certain legal procedures, as well as to recognize that the king's would be subject to the law. The Magna Carta is considered the first chapter of a long historical process that would lead to the emergence of constitutionalism.
