“On the Duty of Civil Obedience” I do not accept the motto. –“That government is best which governs least.” Government is a completely necessary institution. Without it‚ nations would crumble‚ famine would flourish‚ and massacres would occur daily. Of course it would be nice if humans didn’t need government‚ if men’s moral compasses all pointed in the same (correct) general direction. But they do not. It is just a far-fetched fantasy of perfection‚ it is impractical. Which is why government is necessary
