Why would some people want to limit the powers given to the federal government?

What limits the power of government in India?
One of the functions of a constitution is to limit the powers of government.
How can the authority of government be justified?
The justification of the state refers to the source of legitimate authority for the state or government. Typically, such a justification explains why the state should exist, and to some degree scopes the role of government – what a legitimate state should or should not be able to do.
Federalism limits government by creating two sovereign powers—the national government and state governments—thereby restraining the influence of both. Separation of powers imposes internal limits by dividing government against itself, giving different branches separate functions and forcing them to share power.
How is power divided among the branches of government?
Power is first divided between the national, or federal government, and the state and local government under a system known as Federalism. At the federal level, the Constitution again divides power between the three major branches of our federal government—the legislative, the executive, and the judicial.
What limits the power of the crown and the government?
The power of the crown and the authority of the government is limited by the Declaration of Man and the Citizen. One situation where the government is limited is where “Men are born free and remain equal in rights.” (1789, Art, 1, DRMC.) The government must give all men equal rights.
The Power and Authority of the Government Power can be seen as the capacity of a government to get its citizens to comply with it. Power is quite broadly used and can even be seen as obedience as this shows a deliberate self restraint of citizens that might otherwise resist the government.
In a dictatorship it is arguable that the leader can have power without authority, as even though the people may disagree they are too fearful of what will happen if they do not obey the government at the time.
