Constitution liberal document????
then why does it strictly limit the power of govt while liberals want unlimited govt power??
This doesn't make any sense.
The Constitution is a liberal document because it acknowledges the rights of the individual as paramount, where the people's relationship between their National government cannot be interfered with by state or local governments, and their civil liberties are safeguarded by a Federal Constitution whose case law is supreme.
That conservatives perceive liberals as advocating for 'unlimited government power' is truly bizarre and unfounded, as again the notion makes no sense.
And the Constitution both authorizes government to act and protects citizens from government overreach, where government might enact measures in good faith, but later to be perceived by the people as in violation of their civil liberties. The Constitution affords the people the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances in the Federal courts to seek relief from government excess.
There is no evidence that liberals seek 'unlimited government power,' whatever that's supposed to mean. Indeed, quite the opposite is true:
Liberals seek to protect the privacy rights of women by restricting state governments from dictating to women whether they may have a child or not.
Liberals seek to protect the equal protection rights of gay Americans by restricting state governments from deny same-sex couples access to marriage law.
Liberals seek to protect the voting rights of African-Americans by restricting state governments from enacting 'voter ID' laws that are unwarranted and un-Constitutional.
And liberals seek to protect the due process rights of immigrants to claim refugee status by restricting state governments from denying them access to Federal immigration laws.
In these and other examples we see liberals defending the rights of individuals and compelling restrictions on government.
