Government has a monopoly of force over its citizens. As for the question, "why have government?" the answer is we are stuck with having a government so all we can do is sit around and define words like, consent, authority and obligation.
Last time I looked it was the American people who put this government in place to begin with. In effect, you are saying we are "stuck" with what we wanted all along.
