3. why do you think many americans insist on limiting the power of
government?

The idea of limited government is a product of the Enlightenment and one of the most important requirements of modern democracies. This idea has been part of the United States since its foundation, and it is at the core of how Americans understand the role of government.

A limited government is one that follows laws, and has limited jurisdiction in many subjects. It is also one that recognizes that people have a right to privacy and liberty, and that the government cannot infringe upon these. Many Americans insist on limiting the power of government because they want to make sure that the government is not above the law. They also want to make sure that citizens are protected from abuses of the government, and that they are able to exercise their liberties without unfair punishment.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
