A state should exercise only the minimum amount of power necessary to secure conditions in which its individual citizens can thrive.
Prosecuting/deterring violent criminals and protecting against foreign invasion is probably 90 percent of that.
Hmm. Didn't the nowadays state start on those promises and expanded from there on?

Legitimate is debatable but it always boils down to the same. So the Aye and Nay pendulum gonna swing on :blobpopcorn:
