In the government of this commonwealth, the legislative department shall never exercise the executive and judicial powers, or either of them. the executive shall never exercise the legislative and judicial powers, or either of them. the judicial shall never exercise the legislative and executive powers, or either of them. to the end it may be a government of laws and not of men.—massachusetts constitution, part the first, article xxx, 1780. which two government principles does this quote reflect?

Rule of law, limited government.

Explanation:

Rule of law is the term that states that the power exercised by a government is limited by the current legal order, which will specifically provide, from the state's way of acting, its functions and limitations, to the guarantees and rights of citizens. Thus, both the state and its individuals are subject to the law, that is, the laws of the nation.

Already limited government is a term that refers to the limitation of power of each sphere of government, ie the power of government of a nation is not centralized, since the executive, legislative and judicial powers are limited and submissive to each other, thus preventing all government power from falling into one's hands.
