Many like Prager have pointed out that classical Liberals were very close to what constitutional conservatives or Reagan conservatives ascribe to today. What many conservatives, all liberals and most Libertarians conveniently forget is that classical liberals, only some constitutional conservatives and evangelical Christians indicate a belief in the reality of human wickedness, depravity likely being our predominate moral tendency.
The idea of limited government and constitutional checks and balances through the three branches of government was to limit the concentrations of public power in the hands of a junta, a general, a President, a king, an elite of any kind, judiciary tyranny, and mobocracy. These very unnatural and highly artificial institutional constraints were and are critically necessary to thwart those sickened with the deadly power lust, an intense, ever growing craving to rule over others, unto the most minute aspects of their lives. It is the easy corruptibility of all humans that makes it critically important and absolutely necessary to keep power dispersed among the citizens. Supercitizens, lawful anarchist individuators, are best equipped to run and maintain this constitutional minarchy.
