Government is a construct of man, and as such it is subject to all of the imperfections and flaws that man is subject to. Left to its own devices, government becomes as selfish and corrupt as any tyrant or dictator. To consider the government as a selfless and benevolent entity is very naive.
This is why the framers put up firewalls and limits on the power of the government. To prevent it from growing powerful enough to be able to take away the liberties of the citizens.
