Which document ensured that Englishmen had the right to be consulted on taxes?

The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, is the document that established the principle that English nobility and, by extension, common Englishmen, had the right to be consulted regarding taxation. This landmark agreement between King John and his barons limited the powers of the monarchy and laid the groundwork for due process and the idea that everyone, including the king, was subject to the law.

One of its critical provisions addressed the issue of taxation without representation, setting the foundation for the democratic principle that citizens should have a say in the levies imposed upon them. This concept later influenced various democratic movements and documents, including the American Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

The other options represent different historical documents but do not specifically encapsulate the principle concerning tax consultation in the same way. The Bill of Rights pertains to the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution focusing on individual liberties, the Mayflower Compact serves as an early agreement for self-governance among the Pilgrims in America, and the Constitution establishes the framework of the U.S. government and its laws but does not directly address the principle of requiring Englishmen to be consulted about taxes in the same foundational way as the Magna Carta.
