The people and the states are the final authority in most matters. Limited government is [[libertarian]],  [[conservative]] in concept and is the basis of [[Republicanism]]. The power of the people, as opposed to federal power, enables the government to be kept in-check from authoritarian or totalitarian influences and defends the people's interests from [[judicial activism]] and other [[undemocratic]] encroachments. Additional federal limitations can be found in the [[Bill of Rights]]. The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Articles of the Bill of Rights specify procedures designed to keep the government from acting arbitrarily or capriciously or unfairly.
