Explanation:

The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, was a charter that restricted the power of the English king. It set a precedent for the idea that rulers were not above the law and that governments should have limited power. American colonists drew inspiration from this concept as they resisted British rule and sought to establish their own rights and freedoms, which contributed to the American Revolution. Options A, B, and D are not related to the influence of the Magna Carta.

Answer:

C. It promoted the idea that governments should have limited power.
