In what circumstances is government needed?
.
There are two major justifications for government involvement. Efficiency and Morality.
How does the US Constitution defines Efficiency and Morality .
The Declaration of Independence - which was incorporated into the Ninth Amendment states
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
Gee, it doesn't say anything about "Efficiency and Morality ". Why do were those things omitted?
.
Good grief, our education system sucks.
Rights are statements of moral principles. The Declaration is saying that in order to defend these moral principle governments are created. As in the absolute purpose of government is to defend these critically important moral principles that we call rights.
