C
separation of powers

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Separation of powers is a model that divides the government into separate branches, each of which has separate and independent powers. By having multiple branches of government, this system helps to ensure that no one branch is more powerful than another.

Detailed explanation-2: -Locke’s limited government can be defined as one in which “a morally legitimate government coerces only those who freely and voluntarily consent to its authority” (Locke on Government, Arneson). Therefore, in Locke’s theory of politics, a government can only work if its people are consenting.

Detailed explanation-3: -The power of the government gets limited by regular elections. Elections are usually held once in five years. Once elected, governments can stay in power only for that period. If they want to continue to be in power then they have to be re-elected by the people.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following best describes the concept of limited government? Government must operate within certain bounds set by the people.
