The correct answer is C. The statement that best describes what is meant by limited government is that there are things the government is not allowed to do.

A limited government is one whose functions and powers exercised through the State are limited or restricted by law, generally by means of a constitution. These powers can never interfere with the liberties of each individual. Thus, this government would be limited to the functions of justice, security, defense, and in some cases public works.
