This is why it's so important to have guardrails that limit what the government can do. The US tried to do that, and has probably been the most successful at it - though there's still been a lot of scope creep outside their constitution already. And that's probably a one-way street.
Most of Europe is far more successful than the US at restricting what the government can do, it's just restricted differently.
Lol you must be joking. Most individual rights are long gone in Europe.
Giving people individual rights is just one of many paths towards having a government incapable of doing many things.
By what measurements? It seems most of Europe has such unrestricted government that it is borderline fascism.
In what way? It doesn't seem that way to me.
