Answer (2)

Individual liberties - Limited government establishes the principle that the government can /only/ do what the law allows it to do. If it's not in the law, it's not a legal power of the government. This protects individuals from over-extending government as it can't make ad-hoc laws and powers to respond to individuals.

A limited government primarily benefits individual liberties by restricting government power, ensuring personal freedoms, and protecting citizens from government overreach. This protection is grounded in the rule of law, which ensures that everyone is accountable under the law. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
