Trade associations effectively restrict power.
The main method is to separate the powers derived from state power and realize the mutual restriction of powers. The restriction on authority, that is, the restriction of "public power".
Another important way to restrict public power is to use "social forces" to restrict public power. Any public power needs to be restricted, and unrestricted power is dangerous power. The important force that restricts the government comes from social organizations outside the government.
Scattered and isolated individuals and enterprises are unable to compete with the public power sector, and the non-governmental organizations represented by trade associations are just the important social forces that restrict the government's public power. Tocqueville said that civil society groups are the "dam" against political institutions and the independent eyes of a society that supervises power.
