Explanation:

For Question 1: Thomas Jefferson's early draft of the Declaration of Independence included a passage condemning slavery, which was removed from the final version due to opposition from Southern colonies. The other options reflect core arguments retained in the final document.
For Question 2: The Confirmation of Charters (1297) under King Edward I reaffirmed that Parliament had the final authority over tax levies, formalizing this key check on royal power. The other options are either unrelated to Edward I's reign or do not address tax authority specifically.
