The answer is C and D. The Magna Carta was what gave the people back their rights against an oppressive ruler. Americans were distrustful of concentrated political power after suffering under British rule, in most of the state constitutions there were declarations of rights that gave citizens protections from the state government and kept it from oppressing them.
