Question 1
To determine the document for limited government in England: The U.S. Constitution is American, the English Bill of Rights came later, the Mayflower Compact was for Plymouth Colony. The Magna Carta (1215) limited the king's power, being a first step for limited government in England.
The Mayflower Compact was an agreement by Pilgrims to govern themselves. It introduced self - rule (governing their own colony) and majority rule (decisions by the majority). Separation of Church and State wasn't its focus, Divine Right of Kings was opposed, and it wasn't mainly about individual rights.
The English Bill of Rights limited monarchical power. Divine Right of Kings was rejected, unlimited monarchy power was opposed, and complete church - state separation wasn't a key concept. It did establish protection from cruel/unusual punishment (and other rights limiting the monarchy).
