Scope of Government said by disconnected :
Morally speaking, the only just purpose and scope of government is to protect INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS. That's incorrect. The purpose and scope of government is to foster and protect society as a whole. Individual rights are respected within that context. Remember that the Bill of Rights was an add-on to the US Constitution. It is a credit to the United States that it does place so much emphasis on individual rights, but it is NOT the sole purpose and scope of government. |
