How can a government that has effectively unlimited power be trusted?


Because it is elected?


Elected yes - representative of the people no. By design - with both the electoral college for President and each state having two Senators, the desires of the less populous states are over represenrated in government. And those two parts of government are in control of deciding the third branch - the Supreme Court.

That's not even to mention how much regulatory power unelected officials in the beuracry has.
