iirc JFK actually name checked Magna Carta in one of his major speeches ?

In his inaugural address. Though I suspect that the exam-writer is looking for something more thematic than that.

Well I googled and there's a JFK monument at Runnymede, not that I remember seeing it as a child, I'd guess that it was monument was 'topical' when the paper was writing in 67/68 ?
