Answer:

The document that held the provision that a person could NOT be considered guilty of a crime with no body of evidence against them is:

A. Writ of Habeas Corpus

Explanation:

Habeas Corpus means "show me the body" or "show me the evidence."  As a legal instrument, it requires that sufficient evidence must be obtained before a person can be convicted of a crime.  The instrument safeguards the freedom of individuals against arbitrary arrest and executive power.  As a court process, it makes it illegal for a person to be either unlawfully detained or imprisoned.
