I think it says, we have a duty to keep a very watchful eye on government and never to allow it to step beyond its extremely limited authority lest we end up with a government that violates rights instead of defending them. We can't let government exceed it's limited authority even for what we believe is a good reason, because it opens the door for others to overstep the bounds for bad reasons.
