Respuesta :

B they wantedto protect the rights that they won with magna carta

The most likely reason why some members of Parliament opposed James I was that they wanted to protect the rights that had been won with the Magna Carta. Option B is correct.

Magna Carta Libertatum, generally called Magna Carta constitutes a charter of rights granted by King John of England at Runnymede, near Windsor, on 15 June 1215. By declaring the sovereign to be subject to the rule of law and outlining the liberties held by “free men,” the Magna Carta would set the foundation for individual rights in Anglo-American jurisprudence.
