The government has corrupted you.i can't participate in a thread about government when the OP avatar is holding an AK wearing a turban...or whatever....assault rifle with a bandanna..lol....so shady
The states and people are the ones who are supposed to protect the constitution. but yeah I agree with everything else. =)I believe that its for protecting the constitution, foreign relations, and standing military. That's all it was suppose to do, nothing more. The idea was to not have government in everyday life, true freedom or something like that.

The corporate media is rather succusfull at selling snake oil.I found it odd and telling that until post 13, every answer given was USA-centric even though that was not a premise. cn
Provide orderly sucession, indemnify citizens against threat, provide common currency, provide infrastructure, define and secure borders, provide means to foreseeable consequences for actions, institute laws that reflect public sentiment ongoingly - in short - order.The ideal primary role of government is to secure and promote the welfare and prosperity of its citizens, and to negotiate good relations with neighboring and trading nations.
The actual role of government, more often than not, is to protect and propagate government.
A truly contrived market, what with snakes are self-lubricating. cnThe corporate media is rather succesful at selling snake oil.
