I think the government has a role in protecting the fundamental rights of its citizens.

One of the functions of government is to act as a safeguard not just of property but of our liberties.

It is the government's fundamental duty to ensure the security of every individual citizen.

We have to protect the rights of the American people.

So government acts as a safeguard of our property.

A fundamental duty of government is to protect its people.

The fundamental purpose of government is to protect its citizens.

Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing.

The only point of government is to safeguard and foster life.

Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
