"Isn't the Federal Government our (the citizens of the US) representative?"

And so...?




Well, since the government is the representative of people, then when you say "Better not to give government that power at all", what does that imply?


It implies that the coercive power of the collective (as materialized in the form of "government") must necessarily be limited in order to preserve individual liberty.


I don't know where you're going. What do you mean it implies?
