Answer 1

The BEST example of limited government is:

C. Leslie attended a meeting where two candidates explained what they would do if they were chosen as mayor of the city. Leslie votes for the person she feels will do the best job to help the city.

This option illustrates limited government by showing a democratic process where citizens have the ability to participate in government by voting and choosing their leaders, which is a fundamental aspect of a limited government system. In such a system, the government's powers are restricted, and citizens have rights that allow them to influence governance. The other options present scenarios where government actions impose restrictions on individual freedoms, which do not reflect the principles of limited government as clearly as option C.
