God has no meaning to me.
Just another mythical sky fairy.
Some people (myself included) believe the case for limited govt comes from God. The people wanted a king, and God warned them that rule by a king would replace rule by God, would become totalitarian. (1 Sam 8:11) He warned the king would tax them severely, steal their property and enslave their children. Up to that point they had been essentially self-governed under the rule of do unto others.
But I don't think too many in this group are people of faith, so set that aside.
Humans aren't equipped to rule over each other. No one is better than anyone else, but a position of power over others always eventually results in the powerful imagining themselves to be superior and taking advantage of their position. There are no examples in history to suggest otherwise. Adding to that, any position of power attracts bribery, money and everyone and anyone seeking influence and favors. Everyone has a price, it is said, and those in power will eventually be bought. Gov't is a living organism that has to be actively restricted, limited and kept to minimum level of size and power or it will consume the people every time.
