If you are a limited partner in a limited partnership, you must not take part in the management of the partnership. You can choose to put money into the partnership, but you do not have to, unless the partnership agreement says you must. The partnership agreement is like a set of rules that you and the other partners agree to follow, and it can say what you can and cannot do as a limited partner.
