| For what purpose ought government to exist?
If I had asked "What is the purpose of government?", I'd get a great many cynical answers. True as they may be, they're not terribly helpful. I'm hoping to avoid them here, since I'm not trying to discuss any particular government. My hope is that identifying the root purpose will be the first step in determining the nature of the government we ought to have.
My current best reason to have a government: to maximize freedom for all.
Anyone got a better suggestion?
