A limited government is one whose legalized force and power is restricted through delegated and enumerated authorities.
In many cases, such as the United States, it is a constitutionally limited government, bound to specific principles and actions by a state or federal constitution.

The USA is the only Society that has managed to limit it's government's power and purpose...
The Constitution stipulates the purpose and power (the rights) of government as granted by the People;
Article 1 section 8 lists the 17 specific powers we grant government; Article I section 9 and the Bill of Rights restrict how congress may exercise these 17 powers.
All other powers remain to be freely exercised by the People.
Therefore, if a so-called law is either beyond those 17 powers listed, or exceeds our restrictive clauses, then that 'law' is void - called as a 'legal nullity' - and it is as though that law was never passed.

What was ancient greece's government?
Ancient Greece was not a country - it was comprised of over 2,000 independent city-states. These city-states each changed their form of government periodically as problems arose, ranging from monarchy, oligarchy, tyranny, limited democracy and radical democracy. As one form failed, another would be tried. For example, Athens went from monarchy to oligarchy, tyranny, limited democracy and radical democracy, then back to limited democracy. Sparta went from a dual monarchy to a combined monarchy-oligarchy to a combined monarchy-limited democracy.

Where did the limited democracy began?
Limited democracy is the most popular form of government in the world. Various forms of limited democracy include representative democracy (republic) or constitutional monarchy.Full, or direct, democracy was created before limited democracy. Direct democracy was one of the various forms of government present in Ancient Greece, but eventually faded from usage. Direct democracy is when the citizens vote on everything. Democracy was revived by the Roman Republic, where they used limited democracy instead of direct democracy. Here, instead of citizens making the decisions themselves, they elect representatives to make decisions for them. Eventually, the Roman Republic turned into the Roman Empire, where there was an emperor and authoritarian government. Democracy did not appear until the Age of Enlightenment, where political philosophers created new forms of government, most reflecting limited democracy. The first country to become a limited democracy as a whole was Great Britain. Great Britain had transformed from a monarchy into a limited, or constitutional, monarchy, in which it had added a parliament. The first country to become a republic, taking ideas from the Romans and setting the stage for what would become the world's most popular system of government, was the United States.
