We hold that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have
the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they don't forcibly interfere with the
equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose. That the government has no authority
to dispose of the lives of individuals or the fruits of their labor. Governments must not violate the
rights of any individual, namely the rights to life, liberty and property. We oppose the interference
by government in the areas of voluntary and contractual relations among individuals.
The Libertarian Party believes that governments exist for the purpose of protecting the rights of
individuals to life, liberty and property. That the rights of the people are born within them, not
granted by governments. Governments must not take what belongs to one individual and give it
to another to whom it does not belong. That governments today are far too large, too expensive
and too intrusive. That the government exists to serve the people, not to be served by the people.
Governments should do only those things which cannot be done by the people themselves. That
people should be free to live their lives as they see fit, so long as they respect the same right in all
others.
