Apathy was the main cause of decreased citizen interest in Roman government. Many of the citizens simply did not care and from the time of Caracalla, were not even Romans. It was difficult for some in Spain or Syria to get excited about an election held in Rome or Milan. As for taking part in the local elections of their home towns, the cost of a campaign was high and there was little opportunity to recover them.

What American document established a limited government that protects a citizen's individual rights today?

Well, the government still exists, but through the efforts of the Judicial and Executive Branch's, there are just about no limits left. The original idea was that the people were the country, but they needed a central government to raise an army to defend the group of states, to mint money so the States could all buy and sell goods and services to each other, and to control the commerce between the States. Today the executive branch (Office of the President) and the lawmakers (the House and the Senate) seem totally and completely out of the people's control. The federal government has grown exponentially and unconstitutionally, which actually HELPED the federal government get bigger. One of the causes or results of the size of the government is that too many American citizens expect the government to do everything and to fix everything and that leads to the government gaining more and more control of everything. If the average citizen doesn't want to take personal responsibility for what they find wrong within the country and continues to expect the government to do it for them, then the government will continue to grow and the difference between the US and a communist state will be hard to see. The government that the founding fathers created will exist only if the people want it enough to do what is necessary to make it so.
