No, democratically elected governments should not have unlimited power. Checks and balances, as well as a system of accountability, are essential to prevent the abuse of power and protect individual rights. Limitations on governmental authority help ensure that the rule of law is maintained and that diverse voices within society are heard and respected. Ultimately, a system of limited power fosters a more just and equitable society.

Why do people assume that a government elected by the people does not need to have limits placed on its powers?
People often assume that a government elected by the people inherently represents the will of the majority, leading to the belief that it should have broad authority to enact policies and reforms. This perspective is rooted in the idea of democracy, where elected officials are accountable to their constituents. However, this assumption can overlook the importance of checks and balances, as even democratically elected governments can abuse power or neglect minority rights without established limits. Ultimately, safeguards are essential to prevent tyranny and ensure that the government remains responsive to all citizens, not just the majority.
