Question

which excerpt reflects the principle of limited government?

○ \in suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved.\

○ \the house of representatives shall chuse their speaker and other officers; and shall have the sole power of impeachment.\

○
o person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.\

○ \the judicial power of the united states, shall be vested in one supreme court.\

Explanation:

Limited government means that the government's power is restricted. The statement "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice" limits the power of an individual (the President) by restricting their term - limit. This is an example of limiting the power of a government official, which is in line with the principle of limited government. The other options:

• "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court" is about the distribution of power (separation of powers - judicial branch), not directly about limiting government power.
• "The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment" is about the powers of a legislative body (House of Representatives), which is more about the structure of government (separation of powers - legislative branch) rather than limiting government.
• "In Suits at common law...the right of trial by jury shall be preserved" is about a right (trial by jury) in the legal system, not about limiting government power.

Answer:

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."
