(Citizenship 02.01 MC) Which of the following quotes best reflects the principle of limited government in the Declaration of Independence? (3 points) "All men... are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." "He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected." "For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury." "A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: "A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

In a limited government, we separate the government into several branch, and give the power to each branch to override/ limit the influence of another branch. By doing this, there would be no ruler that can has absolute power , which made is impossible for a tyrant to be created.
