Minarchism
|
In civics, minarchism (sometimes called minimal statism, small government, or limited-government libertarianism.) refers to a political ideology which maintains that the state‘s only legitimate function is the protection of individuals from aggression. (Such states are sometimes called night watchman states.) Minarchists defend the existence of the state as a necessary evil, but assert that it may only act to protect the life, liberty, and property of each individual. A minarchist state would therefore consist of very few branches/parts of government, in the most minimal way – such as, for an example, courts (but not necessarily). Generally, minarchists identify themselves within the broader propertarian libertarian movement. (CC Wikipedia – 03/23/2010) More about Minarchism Loading...
