Answer 1

“A monarchy is indeed the most powerful of any… but then there is imminent danger of his employing that strength to improvident or oppressive purposes.”—William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England

Which of the following documents addressed Blackstone’s concern in this quote?

The Mayflower Compact, because it created a government and the first written laws for Plymouth settlers.
The English Bill of Rights, because it later influenced the U.S. Bill of Rights.
