1. The historical document most associated with the United States Constitution is the Magna Carta.

While the Magna Carta is not directly the foundation of the US Constitution, it is a highly influential document that established principles of limited government, individual rights, and due process of law. These concepts played a significant role in shaping the US Constitution.

2. The agreement between the people and the government is often referred to as the social contract.

This concept suggests that the people give up some of their individual freedoms in exchange for the government’s protection and provision of certain services. The social contract is an implicit understanding, not a formal document, but it defines the relationship between citizens and their government.
