AP US Government
Unit 4 – American Political Ideologies and Beliefs
Topic 4.3
How do populists' views contrast with those of libertarians concerning the role of government?
Libertarians typically hold that only a powerful central government can rectify social injustices; conversely, populists argue for weakening central authority.
Neither group accepts any form of government intervention in daily life.
Populists often endorse significant government intervention to address societal issues, whereas libertarians promote limited government involvement as much as possible.
Both groups regularly advocate for increased federal responsibility towards societal inequalities .
