Video: Beware the Omnipotent Government

Below is a brief and worthwhile video of F.A. Hayek. Democratic forms of government require constitutional limitations of power.  The fact such governments are in some way democratically chosen does not do away with the need to limit their power.  Believing democracies need not be limited in their powers relegates voters to a a choice of masters, not a participation in their government.  

In The Constitution of Liberty Hayek deals extensively with the indespinsable need for democratic governments to observe the rule of law, not be the a law unto themselves.
