Question: What did the Magna Carta do for the government of the country of Albert Cox's birthplace?

<P0-S0> in political philosophy, limited government is where the government is empowered by law from a starting point of having no power, or where governmental power is restricted by law, usually in a written constitution. <P0-S1> it is a key concept in the history of liberalism. <P0-S2> the united states constitution presents an example of the federal government not possessing any power except what is delegated to it by the constitution - with the tenth amendment to the united states constitution specifically stating that powers not specifically delegated to the federal government is reserved for the people and the states. <P0-S3> the magna carta and the united states constitution also represents important milestones in the limiting of governmental power. <P0-S4> the earliest use of the term limited government dates back to king james vi and i in the late 16th century. <P0-S5> limited government put into practice often involves the protection of individual liberty from government intrusion. <SEP> <P1-S0> The charter became part of English political life and was typically renewed by each monarch in turn, although as time went by and the fledgling English Parliament passed new laws, it lost some of its practical significance. <P1-S1> At the end of the 16th century there was an upsurge in interest in Magna Carta. <P1-S2> Lawyers and historians at the time believed that there was an ancient English constitution, going back to the days of the Anglo - Saxons, that protected individual English freedoms. <P1-S3> They argued that the Norman invasion of 1066 had overthrown these rights, and that Magna Carta had been a popular attempt to restore them, making the charter an essential foundation for the contemporary powers of Parliament and legal principles such as habeas corpus. <P1-S4> Although this historical account was badly flawed, jurists such as Sir Edward Coke used Magna Carta extensively in the early 17th century, arguing against the divine right of kings propounded by the Stuart monarchs. <P1-S5> Both James I and his son Charles I attempted to suppress the discussion of Magna Carta, until the issue was curtailed by the English Civil War of the 1640s and the execution of Charles. <SEP> <P2-S0> Albert Edward Harrison Cox (24 June 1917 in Treeton, Rotherham – April 2003) was a footballer who played as a left-back for Sheffield United and Halifax Town. <SEP> <P3-S0> Treeton is a village and civil parish of the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England. <P3-S1> It is located about south of the town of Rotherham and east of Sheffield City Centre. <SEP> <P4-S0> in clause 39 of magna carta, issued in 1215, john of england promised: ``no free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land. <P4-S1> ''magna carta itself immediately became part of the`` law of the land'', and clause 61 of that charter authorized an elected body of 25 barons to determine by majority vote what redress the king must provide when the king offends ``in any respect against any man. <P4-S2> ''thus, magna carta established the rule of law in england by not only requiring the monarchy to obey the law of the land but also limiting how the monarchy could change the law of the land. <P4-S3> however, in the 13th century, the provisions may have been referring only to the rights of landowners, and not to ordinary peasantry or villagers.
