n Three
specific ideas of importance still with us today are:
1. Ordered
Government: local governments based
on order and specific division of powers.
2. Limited
Government: government that is not
omnipotent.
3. Representative
Government: the idea that government
represents the will of the people.
These ideas had roots in some early influential documents. .
