Answers
This Quote supports the separation of powers as the point of separation of powers is to prevent the abuse of power.
instead of having all three powers gathered around just one entity the power is separated to build a system of checks and balances.
it also supports the limited government principal in the same manner.
government's power should be limited so as to prevent its abuse..
hope it helps....!!!!
Answer:
As the goal of the division of powers is to prevent the misuse of authority, this quote is in favour of it. To create a system of checks and balances, the three powers are dispersed rather than being concentrated around a single institution. In a similar way, it backs the limited government principle. Limiting governmental authority will help to prevent abuse.
Explanation:
Fundamentally, freedom is in jeopardy if people misuse it (go around saying dumb things using their freedom of speech), as the government would then be forced to restrict speech, for instance, to stop people from speaking stupid things. Legislation might be used to accomplish this. Currently, laws against hate speech are demonstrating this.
On the abuse of power front, the government may remove the right to free speech to stop anyone from ever using it or use its constitutional prerogative to rewrite the constitution.
A limited government is one that is constrained in its authority and size. This remark advocates for limited government since a small government has fewer powers and is more difficult to restrict freedom from the people, thus abusing their powers.
