What is Limited Government?

It’s very common that people which don’t understand the true meaning of limited government would think of it as an opportunity for the strongest ones to take control or dodge the law, but truth is that when limited government is established, chances increase for any kind of individual and commerce.

A quite general definition of limited government is a system where all the functions and powers of the rulers are well defined and restricted by law, and any disruption of those principals would be severally penalized in order to avoid the possibility of government overpower. If rulers have all the power, eventually they’re going to think they own people and start acting as they think “is better for citizens” but normally responding to their own priorities. That’s exactly what limited government system wishes to prevent. Nevertheless, propaganda and interests have sold otherwise on the media and common people neglects the benefits of this system. But if these people had the access to better information, opinions and vision would drastically change for better.

Limited government is not about “removing essential government services” or anything of the sorts. People who support a limited government system want to reduce the overall amount of waste the government has by auditing federal agencies/departments and/or repealing unnecessary laws/regulations. When we remove unnecessary regulations, the amount of innovation and creativity will increase because major government hurdles will be removed.
