Rasckal has the right idea.
Without limits, the citizen has no rights. For example, it used to be that in China or Russia you could spend generations building up a functioning family farm out of nothing, then the government would come in and take it away so they could give it to someone else as a reward for their party loyalty.
Both countries have since seen how counter-productive that is (nobody will put any hard work into anything if it is just going to be taken away -- unless you put a gun to their heads, then they work only hard enough to get you off their back and they start thinking about ways to overthrow the government), which should show how wise an idea it is to limit government.

Governments are chosen by the people. They have a mandate only for 4 years usually. They made promises they have to fulfil. If not they can be voted out. so most politicians think about reelection when voting on a bill or law.

Government officials believe that our economy and our society is best "controlled" by free choice because we supposedly are a free society. If there is too much government interference and influence, then we might exist in what is called a dictatorship (Examples: Adolf Hitler and Fidel Castro)

It is much less limited than in the past. And if people keep voting the way they are, it won't have any limits at all.

Everything is done on a 4 year plan, after which they might get voted out anyway.
