∙ 9y agoOne element of the Constitution that embodies limited government is the separation and balance of powers between the three governmental branches. Another element embodying limited government is the existence of the Bill of Rights guaranteeing certain protections from the government to the people.

Establishment Clause basically means there won't be a law that establishes* a religion-- for example, the Middle East generally has Islam as the official religion in many if not all of the countries (few exceptions of course, like Israel). That said, the US will never have an official religion. Free Exercise Clause is pretty self-explanatory; you have the freedom as a citizen of the US to practice and preach any religion you wish, and even change your mind as many times as you want, etc.

What are three criticisms of the constitution?
Well, if you read the Constitution, there are very clear powers delegated to the federal government. And the 10th Amendment clearly states that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This clearly is being ignored by those in power, including the Supreme Court. I've been through Constitution over and over, and nowhere can I find any mention of setting up a national pension system like Social Security, or a national health care system like Medicare. Nowhere does it discuss getting involved in education either. Simply put my criticism of the Constitution is that parts of it are just ignored by those in power.
