Limits and powers of Individualism:
Equality-‘’Notion that all individuals are equal in their moral worth and thereby are entitled to equal treatment under the law’’. Pg 10 book
Limits and powers of equality: All American cannot be equally rich and all Americans can’t be equally poor. This in turn leads to special treatment (perks) for the elite. Certain races and gender continue to fight for equality. Women continue to fight for equal pay while doing the same job as their male counterpart. The power of equality is that it is there for everyone and if you believe that you are not being treated equally there are avenues to take to ensure that they are provided.
Self-government: the principle that the people are the ultimate source and proper beneficiary of the governing authorities; in practice, a government based on majority rule. Pg. 10
Limits and powers of self government: maintains that government is internally limited by the system of checks and balances as well as the Constitution itself, which can be amended, and externally through the republican principle of electoral accountability. (Limited Government)
