Answer 3

Limited government gives citizens more control on how they shape their local environment and policy. More emphasis becomes placed on local government and policy, giving more citizen access to participate. It also provides a stronger free market system so that the citizenry have more opportunity for real success. In a limited government, the power of government to intervene in the exercise of civil liberties is restricted by law, usually in a written constitution. It is a principle of classical liberalism, free market libertarianism, and some tendencies of liberalism and conservatism in the United States. The theory of limited government contrasts, for example, with the ideal that government should intervene to promote equality and opportunity through regulation of property and democracy wealth redistribution. As discussed in The Federalist Papers, the idea of limited government originally implied the notion of a separation of powers and the system of checks and balances promoted by the U.S. Constitution. This understanding of limited government maintains that government is internally limited by the system of checks and balances as well as the Constitution itself, which can be amended, and externally through the republican principle of electoral accountability. Such an understanding of limited government, as explained by James Madison, does not place arbitrary and ideologically biased parameters on the actions of a government thus allowing government to change as time demands.

Answer 4

Checks and balances are the things that keep the President, Congress, and Judicial system from gaining too much power, putting their power at about even, thus keeping the government power limited.
