• A way of minimizing governmental power to prevent tyranny

LOCATION IN THE CONSTITUTION

• Article 1, Section 9 states "no title of nobility shall be granted"
• Article 1, Section 10 states "no state shall enter into any treaties"

TITLES OF NOBILITY

• John Adams wanted George Washington to be called "His Excellency"
• It wasn't aloud due to limited government.

RULE OF LAW

• state senator Roy Ashburn
• Was arrested for two d.u.y's
• He was sentenced to two days in prison and three years probation
• Even though he was a senator due to rule of law
