Limited government was advocated by the original authors of the United States Constitution. It was also enshrined in the Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson. Limited government refers to the idea of government being controlled by law, most often based on a written constitution. The concept was important to the framers of the Constitution in order to prevent a tyrannical government as was often found in European monarchies.
