Have you read Plato, Aristotle, Rousseau, Montaigne, John Locke, John Stuart Mill, Machiavelli?
I didn't say that governments were benevolent. I said that the PURPOSE people have for creating a government is that it ought to be benevolent.
If you have read the "founding documents," you must have read the Declaration of Independence. I'm guessing that it must have been some time ago. I asked you to RE-READ it.
