 |HasSummary=Today, many people use the term 'big government' to describe what they believe to be government overreach and intrusion in our daily lives at every level.
 Wikipedia defines it “as a derogatory term generally used by political conservatives, laissez-faire advocates, or libertarians to describe a government that they consider to be excessively large, corrupt and inefficient, or inappropriately involved in certain areas of public policy or the private sector”. But, a recent Gallup poll found that 72% of us – including 56% of Democrats and 78% of independents – believe it to be a big threat. The basic problem is, Government has this innate dilemma of balancing between serving and interfering.

-Thomas Jefferson described the dilemma of the role of government in a single sentence: “A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have”. Government has an innate dilemma – the balance between serving us and interfering with us. This was a major concern of our founding fathers and apparently to the large majority of Americans today. Right after the founding of our country, most Americans were concerned about government overreach.  Some wanted to protect our new country by putting an enumerated [[Bill of Rights bill of rights]] into the constitution.  Others argued that the list of rights that should be enumerated was too long and complex, and that any rights not included might be construed to be excluded.  Those who wanted a [[http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html Bill of Rights]] prevailed which resulted in the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution.  The compromise was to write two articles (articles 11 and 12) into the First Amendment:
