General partners have active roles in the management and operations of the partnership and are personally liable for the company's debts and obligations. On the other hand, limited partners contribute capital to the business but do not actively participate in its management. They enjoy limited liability, meaning their personal assets are shielded from the partnership's liabilities beyond their capital contributions.
