All four statements describe ways the Constitution reflects limited government:
- It protects individual rights of citizens — the Bill of Rights and later amendments set limits on what the government may do to individuals.
- The government only has the powers given to it by the Constitution — powers are enumerated for the federal government; anything not granted is reserved.
- Each branch can check the actions of the other two — separation of powers with checks and balances prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful.
- Each state government shares power with the federal government — federalism divides authority between national and state governments (see the 10th Amendment).
