Limited government means that the government has specific, and unchanging powers that the government cannot override. For example, The Constitution of the US says that the right to speech, the right to bear arms, the right to assembly, petition, religion, and many, many other rights cannot be changed by the government. In a limited government the government recognizes that all human beings have some inalienable rights that the government should not have the power to intervene in, even with a majority vote. That each man is his own sovereign in many ways and so long as they do not interfere with the sovereignty of others, the government does not have the right to stop him.
