When a state does not adequately protect the rights and property of its people, it leads to questions about whether the state is working effectively and whether it has legitimacy. Possible alternative approaches that rely more on market forces and voluntary cooperation may be worth exploring as ways to better secure individual rights and property.

Furthermore, the state's failure demonstrates its illegitimacy, as no government has the right to monopolize defense and legal services. The solution is a purely voluntary society based on private property and individual rights, with security and justice provided through market competition rather than coercive government.
