Why did England develop a constitutional monarchy while absolute monarchies ruled in France, Spain, and Russia?

English aristocracy (barons) were able to limit kings´ power already during Plantagenet dynasty. First: Magna Carta (1215) during the reign of unpopular king John. John´s son Henry III (1216-1273) tried to eliminate Magna Carta from political practice but without any success.

Explanation:  the above was a very humble beginning of limited royal power of English kings. Later institution of parliament was introduced, English reformation (which limited power of another monarch over England: the pope), English revolution and Glorious Revolution in the 17th century and Hannoverian dynasty (started with George I in 1714). This is a development we cannot find in other countries where absolute monarchy was quite a normal political practice.
