Government should do what individual citizens cannot judiciously or effectively do for themselves.
It should:
Provide for the National Defense
Provide for Individual Defense - police and judicial protection of life, liberty, and property.
Provide for Protection of Civil Rights, Individual Freedom of Speech, Right of Association, and Religious liberty.
Provide a fair judicial system for the adjudication of disputes among citizens and between citizens and the State.
Provide for Education and basic welfare of citizens who have not reached the age of majority.
Provide a basic temporary safety net and look out for the welfare of citizens who are unable to care for themselves
Provide for standardization of commerce, currency, occupational safety, foreign and domestic trade policy; and regulation to ensure that these standards are followed.
Provide a framework by which one is considered a citizen of said country or how an individual may become a citizen
Provide for large scale infrastructure projects, including roads, power, water supplies, communications, and frontier exploration (space)
Provide for the deportation of crazy-ass libertarians who don't believe government should do even these basic things.
