Question

example of limited government
the united states supreme court can declare a law made by congress as unconstitutional.
the people of the united states voted to re-elect president obama in 2012.
the u.s. government is split into a legislative, executive, and judicial branches.
according to the constitution, congress only has the power to make laws, not the power to enforce laws.

Explanation:

To determine which option is an example of limited government, we analyze each:

• Yellow (Supreme Court judicial review): Checks legislative power, limiting government overreach.
• Purple (Re - electing Obama): Is about democratic election, not directly limiting government power.
• Orange (Separation of powers): Divides government into branches to prevent concentration of power, a key limited government concept.
• Cyan (Congress’ law - making vs. enforcing): Defines Congress’ role, limiting its power to only law - making, not enforcement.

All yellow, orange, and cyan relate to limiting government power (checks/separation of powers, defined authority). If choosing one most direct:

• Orange (The U.S. government is split into a legislative, executive, and judicial branches) is a core example of separation of powers, a fundamental limited government principle.
• Yellow shows judicial check on legislature.
• Cyan shows defined legislative authority.

If we pick the most central example of the structure of limited government (separation of powers), the answer is the orange - colored option: "The U.S. government is split into a legislative, executive, and judicial branches."

(Note: Depending on the question’s intent, yellow (judicial review) or cyan (defined congressional power) could also be correct, but separation of powers is a foundational limited government mechanism.)
