description: Page 4 - Limited government is fundamentally the purpose of our founding constitutional rights. When government inserts itself as an overprotective entity it is impinging on our natural guaranteed liberties as a people. So it is important for people to stand up as a form of balance of power and our obligation as citizens to demand limited government. Government will never be a personal support, it is a product of public interest and protection. - Results from #30
