It is well understood in civics that we have a government
of limited powers. But, if we have a limited government, are there
changes necessary at the domestic and foreign policy, structural,
or constitutional levels to restore and sustain such a limited
government? On one side of our society, conservatives and libertarians
have expressed great concern over the growth of government, even
during a period when the political party which has been more favorable
to limited government has controlled all three branches. However,
liberals and progressives have expressed concern that government
is being ineffective, and they have also expressed a desire for
less government on cultural issues (or, at least, posited that
government is on the wrong side on cultural issues). They have
also expressed concern about U.S. international policy. Just after
a midterm election is an opportune time to take a serious look
at the concept of limited government, what it does and does not
entail, and ideas for revitalizing it.
