Question

12 what principle prevents the government from arresting a person unless that person violated a law? a popular sovereignty b federalism c republicanism d limited power of government

Explanation:

The principle limiting government to act only within legal bounds (e.g., arresting only for law violations) is the limited power of government. Popular sovereignty refers to people's authority, federalism to state-federal division, and republicanism to representative government—none directly address restricting government action to legal grounds.
