D.) Together, the documents create a government with strict limits on its powers.
The political ideal of liberty is reflected in the Constitution, especially in the Bill of Rights, by establishing a system that places strict limits on the powers of the government. The Bill of Rights, comprising the first ten amendments to the Constitution, explicitly outlines individual liberties and protections, ensuring that citizens have certain rights and that the government is constrained from overreach. The emphasis on limiting government authority aligns with the political ideal of liberty.
