A Correct answer
Explanation

Signed in 1215, the Magna Carta established the principle that the monarch's power was not absolute and that everyone, including the king, was subject to the law. This laid the groundwork for modern constitutional governance and individual rights. It did not establish the country of England, nor was it signed by a Queen Hignett.
