The chief duty of government is to keep the peace and stand out of the sunshine of the people.
The ideal Government of all reflective men, from Aristotle onward, is one which lets the individual alone - one which barely escapes being no government at all.
Government needs to stay out of nearly everything.
That government is best which governs least.
Give me a country where it is the most natural thing in the world for a government that does not understand you to let you alone.
