How are the constitutions guarantees of personal freedom and the principle of limited government connected

The principle of limited government states that the government cannot interfere in all aspects of the citizens' lives. It also cannot make any decisions it wants, or be involved in any aspect of society that it wants to be involved in. Instead, the intervention of government needs to follow certain rules and respect certain boundaries.

This is closely related to the guarantee of personal freedom of the Constitution. One of the freedoms that people have is that of being free from government intervention. By placing controls on the government, people are more able to enjoy their lives in an unrestricted way.

b) a state law could be declared illegal if it contradicted the constitution.

explanation:

the conflict of this case originated when james w. mcculloch, a cashier of the baltimore branch of the second bank of the united states that the congress had chartered in 1816, refused to pay a tax imposed by the maryland state.

in the case, the state of maryland appealed that the establishment of a second bank was unconstitutional since the constitution didn't say anything about granting that power to congress. however, the case determined that even if such right wasn't specifically stated in the constitution, it was part of the "implied powers" of the government enunciated in article i, section 8.

the case also eliminated maryland's legislation to impose taxes to a national bank, asserting that even though the states retained the power of taxation, the constitution's laws are supreme and can not be controlled by the states, therefore, if a state law contradicts the constitution, it should be declared illegal.
