Answer: B. the principle of limited government.
Limited government is a term used in political philosophy that refers to a system in which the government does not enjoy absolute power. This can be a consequence of two different restrictions. One option is that the government is assumed to have no power, except certain duties given to it by the people. The other is that the power the government is assumed to have is limited and regulated by law. An example of this law is the Constitution as ratified in 1788. This constitution ensured that the government could not get involved in all affairs. Its powers were restricted by law and the power of other institutions.

After generations of being under the authority of a strong king, the authors feared a strong central government. Instead they wanted the states to have more power, so it, the power, was distributed into the hands of multiple people, not one (like a king). In fact, they didn't even have a chief executive (president). Hope that helps.
The Roman expansion in Italy was gradual, very well planned, and the battles were very wisely chosen.
At the beginning of Rome, it was only a small place, relatively poor, and was not a big factor in Italy. The Romans though were eager to take control over the peninsula, become wealthy, gain bigger territory and resources, so they started to reform their army.
Once their army was prepared, they started to engage in wars with the people on the peninsula, always taking them one at a time, without warning or build up, and at times when it was the worst for the opponent. Their military campaigns were very successful, and they also played wisely by integrating the conquered people into their society m thus assimilating them and turning them slowly into Romans.
