Question

question 9 (multiple choice worth 3 points)
“a monarchy is indeed the most powerful of any... but then there is imminent danger of his employing that strength to improvident or oppressive purposes.”—william blackstone, commentaries on the laws of england
which of the following documents addressed blackstone’s concern in this quote?
the magna carta, because it limited the power of the king
common sense, because it encouraged american colonists to declare independence
the mayflower compact, because it created a government and the first written laws for plymouth settlers
the english bill of rights, because it later influenced the u.s. bill of rights

Explanation:

Blackstone's concern is about a monarch misusing power. The Magna Carta limited the power of the king, addressing this concern. Common Sense was about American independence, the Mayflower Compact about Plymouth governance, and the English Bill of Rights about influencing the U.S. Bill of Rights, none directly related to limiting a monarch's power as asked.

Answer:

The Magna Carta, because it limited the power of the king
