This quote can be understood as Jefferson's dislike for government with a strong power- a government that wants to control and regulate too much can harm the people rather than be beneficial for them. For this reason the concept of limited government was developed-a government that does not have too much power

Thomas Jefferson's quote can be related to the principle of limited government, as the quote fully states 'Most Bad government has grown out of too much government." It means that the terrible governments we have seen around like tyranny or a dictatorship have stemmed from the government have too much power or being to overwhelming, so this is relates to limited government as the government is confined to its small area of power- unable to grow larger.


This quote can also relate to separation of powers as if one part of the government has too much power, it could over take the other two parts and become a government that is not wanted. however with separation of powers this is less likely to occur as the branches have to constantly make sure that no one branch has to much power over the other ones.

Which phrase best completes the diagram?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The Great Compromise created two houses on Congress, one representing states equally and the other representing states based on population.

Explanation:

The Great Compromise of 1787 was originated in the creation of the American legislative bodies. It merged the Virginia Plan, that favored population-based representation, and the New Jersey Plan, which listed each state as an equal.

It established a bicameral system: one chamber in favor of the Virginia Plan, based on the population of the States, and the other in accordance with the New Jersey Plan, by which all States voted in equality.

This was an important issue in the new United States. The small States, with a small population, wanted their voices to be heard in the Congress, as well as those of large states with a large population, such as Virginia or New York. With its plan, Virginia wanted to have greater representation because a large percentage of the American population was in that state. In this way they would have control over what happened in the United States.
