Final answer:

Limited governments have democratic institutions and systems in place with a Bill of Rights protecting citizens' rights. Unlimited governments have authoritarian or totalitarian regimes with unrestricted power and limited citizens' freedoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

An unlimited government is one where the government does not guarantee an individual's natural rights. One person or group can get a great deal of power easily. People's lives are restricted with few freedoms, but it is easy for the government to get things done.

Examples of limited governments include countries that have democratic institutions and systems in place, where power is distributed among different branches of government and leaders are subject to removal through elections. These countries may also have a Bill of Rights that protects citizens' rights and prohibits certain actions of the government.

Examples of unlimited governments include countries that have authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, where the leader holds power for an indefinite period and has unrestricted control over how power is used. In these countries, citizens' freedoms and rights are limited, and there may be little or no mechanism for removing the leaders from power.

Limited government has to adhere to law: it's not a dictatorship or absolute monarchy (or a similar system): example: Serbia, Hungary (despite the accusations), Slovenia

Unlimited government does not answer to anyone and "can do whatever it wants". Right now it's probably only North Korea, but pro forma some absolute monarchies (such as Brunei and Swaziland) also have unlimited governments ( in practice however, they still have to adhere to international laws).
