why is the magna carta important to the idea of limiting government power? Cite three ways it did so.

Answer: The amount of power the king had was limited, it influenced the start of the parliament which was more so a big group of people and not strictly one or a few people and the involvement of the king/governments in people's lives were more limited and the people began to realize it was more fair than before

The Magna Carta set an example to governments with limited power and also induced the idea of a group of people or multiple branches and offered ideas on how to do this.

Explanation:

At the time, Monarchy was usually the only form of government, meaning 1 person, the King, would have supreme rule. When the Magna Carta was presented, it offered fair judgement and better government to both citizens and the government.
