What's your take on this — what experience or question can you share?
Some argue that government authority derives its legitimacy from clearly defined constitutional constraints. Others contend that constitutional limits are themselves a product of government and therefore cannot be the source of its authority. Where do you think the ultimate limits on government power should come from, and what happens when those limits are unclear or contested?
