What were the key ideas of limited government and rule of law and how was it seen in early legal documents such as magma carts and the English bill of rights?
Limited government and rule of law are foundational principles that assert that governmental power should be restricted by law to protect individual liberties and prevent tyranny. The Magna Carta (1215) established the idea that even the monarch is subject to the law, introducing legal protections for subjects against arbitrary rule. Similarly, the English Bill of Rights (1689) reinforced these concepts by outlining specific rights of citizens and limiting the powers of the monarchy, ensuring that government actions must align with established laws and principles. Both documents laid the groundwork for modern democratic governance by emphasizing accountability and the protection of individual rights.
