Limitations of the state: 

Following are the major limitations of the state: 

1. Public opinion: 

With regard to public opinion, Morris Ginsberg writes, “When the minds of many people operate mutually, then forms a social element called public opinion.” A state should not work at all under any situation against public opinion. The formation of a state is only for security and welfare of its people. Therefore, a state should not restrict people’s freedom of thought and freedom of expression unnecessarily, or else, people’s outrage may take a form of rebellion. 

2. Religion: 

A state should grant religious freedom to every individual. Besides, it should also be ensured that no individual is being forced by any person or institution to follow a specific religion. 

3. Morality: 

A state should take into its cognisance that it is not forcefully imposing its moral code of conduct on its people. 

4. Daily behaviour of an individual: 

A state should not put any impediments in the freedom of daily routine activities of an individual. 

5. Fashion: 

Fashion is related to personal choices. A state need not put any restrictions on it. A state should put/impose only appropriate and rational restrictions in this sphere.
