Limited Government
2. Limited Government: government is restricted in what it may do, and
each individual has rights that the government cannot take away.
The principle of limited government is pretty self-explanitory through the above defintion, but it is basically saying that the government is not all powerful. The government may only do what the people of the United States have given them the power to do.
Examples of Limited Government: The government is prohibited from directly interfering with certain key areas such as conscience, expression, and association. Other actions are forbidden to the federal government and are reserved to state or local governments. Examples are of the guarantees to the freedom of expression, religion, speech, of press, of assembly, and of petition. The government can make no law against such things.
