The government has only as much power as the people give it. Limited government means the people and the government must obey laws and no one is above the law. In the constitution it talks a lot about limitations of government's power. Limited government was first borrowed by the Americans from the British and it was called the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta limited the king's and queen's power.
