<u>Broad Context:</u> The "Big Picture" is that the US is trying to annex the Republic of Texas as part of their states, and that Texas already <em>shared many common traits </em>(why? part) with the US, and should join as a state of their choosing, (which means slave or free) (How? part).
<u>Other Context:<em> </em></u><em> </em>The adding of Texas into the US (eventually as a slave state) offsetted the balance between the slaves and free states, and so California (gained after the Mexican-American War) was turned into a free state. Texas was the cause of the Texas Revolution & later on the (already named) Mexican-American War. The adding of Texas, and later the Gadsen Purchase, help create today's US southern border that is shared with Mexico.

The correct answer is c) the government is specifically forbidden from searching citizen’s houses without reason.
<em>The situation that best illustrates how the principle of limited government aims to protect individual rights is the government is specifically forbidden from searching citizen’s houses without reason. </em>
Limited government is the principle that establishes that is not acceptable to have an overarching government or a government that extends its limits beyond the right of privacy of the citizens unless there is a valid and legal reason to do so. Limited government also means that the government limits its intervention regarding the liberties of an individual. That is why the situation that best illustrates how the principle of limited government aims to protect individual rights is the government is specifically forbidden from searching citizen’s houses without reason.
