A government that arrests people who disagree with it typically exhibits characteristics of a Limited Government.
In a Limited Government, there are restrictions on the power and authority of the government, often outlined in a constitution or legal framework. The government is limited in its actions and cannot violate certain rights or freedoms of its citizens. When a government arrests individuals for expressing dissent or disagreement, it goes beyond its legitimate powers and violates the principles of limited government. In contrast, an Unlimited Government has fewer constraints on its authority and can exercise power arbitrarily without adhering to constitutional limits or protecting individual rights.
