Question

why was the magna carta written? to gain independence from great britain establish the idea of religious freedom to limit the british monarchy to replace the articles of confederation

Explanation:

The Magna Carta was signed in 1215 to limit the power of King John of England. It was a response to the king's abuse of power and aimed to protect the rights and privileges of the barons and other free - men. It was not related to gaining independence from Great Britain (since there was no such concept at that time for England itself), establishing religious freedom as its main goal, or replacing the Articles of Confederation (which is an American concept).

Answer:

To limit the British monarchy
