A Long and Illustrious History › The Middle Ages
What is Magna Carta sometimes called?
- The Great Law
- The Great Charter
- The Royal Decree
- The People's Charter
Why this is the correct answer
Magna Carta is Latin and translates directly as 'Great Charter', which is why that is its common alternative name. It was called 'great' partly because of its length and importance, distinguishing it from a smaller charter issued around the same time.
