       The earliest form of limited government came from King James VI from Scotland.
This shows limited government because the White House is covered in "limited" police tape the government can't have full power.   
      Limited government has effect in the American government today. Our government gives the people freedom and lets them make some decisions in their government.      
      Limited government is necessary to keep democracy and liberty safe because it gives some power to the government, but not all.]]> 2017-09-24 13:14:04 UTC https://padlet.com/993806/bddp4vsdoa4s/wish/190553628 Constitutional Principle Project 993806 https://padlet.com/993806/bddp4vsdoa4s/wish/190555707 Popular Sovereignty: the principle that the authority of a state and its government is created and sustained by the consent of its people through their elected representatives.
       The earliest was represented by Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679), John Locke (1632–1704), and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778).
     
This shows that the people of America have the right to vote and participate in governmental actions.
      Popular sovereignty is associated with the American government because the people of America all are free and have power in their government.
      Popular sovereignty keeps democracy and liberty safe because it gives some power to the people, but not all.

      James Madison pushed checks and balances further in the American government making it become more popular for limited governments.
This picture shows checks and balances because all of the branches (legislative, judicial, and executive) in the American government have to balance themselves out, not letting one become more powerful than the rest.
      Checks and balances keeps the American government running. It makes sure that all the political branches are equal, and not one has more power out of the other two. 
      Checks and balances keep a democracy running and liberty safe because it keeps all the political branches running equally, making the government fair. ]]> 2017-09-24 13:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/993806/bddp4vsdoa4s/wish/190556928 Constitutional Principle Project 993806 https://padlet.com/993806/bddp4vsdoa4s/wish/190558080 Social Contract: an agreement among the members of a society to cooperate for social benefits.
       Theories of a social contract became popular in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries among theorists such as Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
     
I chose this picture because the two men agree on not killing each other so they both get benefited from the agreement.  
      We all follow the law in America, so we all keep our Social Contract promise, and we get social benefits by sacrificing individual freedom to receive state protection. 
      Social Contract keeps democracy and liberty safe by making sure everyone follows the laws set by the government to keep others and themselves safe. ]]> 2017-09-24 13:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/993806/bddp4vsdoa4s/wish/190558080
