Which statement best describes the significance of the magna carta

The prime significance of Magna Carta is that it sets limits on the power of the British monarchy.

Explanation:

A charter of rights written by the batch of Barons of England, being granted on 15th June 1215. The charter was granted under the threat of civil war. It was re-issued many time as in 1216, 1217, 1225. it proved to be a great charter for English people to prior their individual rights.

The charter took place under the tyranny of King John who took the oath after the demise of his brother. But, his lack in kinship and short-temper played wrong in the mind and hearts of his people, especially the English Barons.

separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another.   the intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.  

the traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of american government are:

* the legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.

* the executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.

* the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches:   legislative, executive and judicial.   california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial.   persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
