The Differences Between Limited and Unlimited GovernmentBy Kyle

Limited Government Unlimited Government Leader's power is limited Leader's power is unlimited The government cannot take advantage of the citizens No personal rights or freedoms Governments have a system of checks and balances The economy is commanded Governments are not completely controlling The governments govern nearly every aspect of the citizens' lives Constitutional No trial Everyone, including all authority figures, must obey the laws Control is placed solely in the ruler Rights and freedoms are protected by a document Citizens have no freedoms and nothing to protect them Always "rule by the people" "Rule by one" or "rule by few"Direct democracy, representative democracy, and constitutional monarchy Totalitarian Anarchy no laws no government chaos There are many differences that define limited and unlimited governments. In limited governments, the leader's power is limited while it is unlimited in totalitarian (unlimited) governments. The citizens cannot be taken advantage of in limited governments, but have no rights and freedoms in places with totalitarian government. While democracies have systems of checks and balances, the economy is commanded in unlimited governments. The government does not completely control the citizens' lives in republics (hence their rights and freedoms), but completely control the lives of them in totalitarian governments. Limited governments are constitutional, giving the citizens their rights and freedoms, but unlimited have no trial. Everyone , including the leaders and authorities, must always obey the laws they have enforced in democracies, while a leader or group has total control over locations with unlimited governments. All citizens' rights and freedoms are protected by a document, but, unfortunately, citizens have no freedoms and nothing to protect their rights in totalitarian governments. Limited governments are always considered "rule by many" or "rule by the people", because not one person or group has complete control, the people have it. The unlimited governments, however, are considered "rule by one" or "rule by few", because one specific person or group has total control over that specific area. An anarchy is a government with no laws, no government, and no leader, so it is in chaos. Powered by Create your own unique website with customizable templates. Get Started
