Explanation:
A constitutional government is one that places effective restrictions on the authority of the state in the interest of individual liberty. In a constitutional government, the powers and actions of the state are limited and regulated by a constitution, which serves to protect the rights and freedoms of individuals.
Statement 1 is incorrect because a constitutional government aims to limit state authority rather than restrict individual liberty. It is designed to prevent arbitrary use of power by the state and ensure that individual rights are protected.
