What was the rationale of the Founders for providing a limited government?
[] a confederate system where states hold all the power
[] the dispersal of power and the prevention of tyranny
[] making one branch of government more powerful than the others
[] allowing the federal government to control individual rights
The rationale of the Founders for providing a limited government was the dispersal of power and the prevention of tyranny. They believed that a government with limited powers would protect individual liberties and prevent the concentration of power in a single entity. This is evident in the checks and balances put in place, dividing power among three separate branches and establishing a federal system where power is shared between the federal government and the states, rather than allowing the federal government to control individual rights.
