Answer 1

The meaning of limited government is that certain individual liberties and rights of people are beyond the scope of government control and intervention. This idea was in sharp contrast to thousands of years of governments controlled by authoritarian regimes and monarchies in which a king or queen wielded absolute power over their subjects.
