Only virtuous people will willingly give up power (e.g. George Washington), so in order for government to give up the power needed to become “limited government”, we need virtuous people who will make those decisions.

Limited power in government can only come from virtuous persons deciding to reduce the power of the positions that they are in.

Limited government will never occur without virtuous people in power.
