Why would someone want to limit government to protecting individual rights? This doesn't make sense at all. Is the minting of money protecting some sort of individual right? What about providing healthcare for the destitute? Are roads some sort of individual right?
- mkempe 12y agoCould it be that some people subscribe to the theory of the proper role and structure of government evinced by the Declaration of Independence? Maybe some are fond of John Locke's Second Treatise of Government? of rights as an inalienable attribute of the ultimate minority, the individual? and of a government limited in purpose and scope so that it protects us, nothing more?
