Explanation:

2.01

The Magna Carta (1215) was a charter that limited the power of the monarchy in England, reducing the king's arbitrary authority. Option A is incorrect as it's about colonists' rights (Magna Carta predates colonial America). Option B is wrong because it limited the monarchy, not Parliament. Option C is incorrect as it didn't establish colonial independence. So D is correct.

To find the non - reason for public support of American independence:

• Option A: Pamphlets by influential men (like Paine) increased support.
• Option B: The Magna Carta (1215) was in England, not related to taking colonists' liberties (and it actually limited monarchy, a precedent for rights).
• Option C: Military success of Continental Army boosted support.
• Option D: Boston Port closure (Intolerable Acts) angered colonists, increasing support. So B is the non - reason.

The First Continental Congress prepared the Declaration of Rights and Grievances to address colonial complaints to the king. The Declaration of Independence was by the Second Continental Congress. "Act of Peace" and "Tax Compromise" are not associated with the First Continental Congress. So A is correct.

Answer:

D. limit the power of the monarchy
