Yes. And you're talking about the criminal system system, more than the judicial system.

A person may be imprisoned where they are a threat to others, after they have violated the rights of others (or attempted to do so, even if the attempt is unsuccessful), and after a fair trial.

Libertarians believe that people should be afforded maximum personal liberties, as long as the exercise of those rights does not interfere with anyone else's exercise of those rights. In the example above, someone who was criminal and harmed another person could be imprisoned to stop them from doing so further.

Some who self-identify as libertarians are minarchists, i.e., supportive of minimal taxation as a "necessary evil" for the limited purpose of funding public institutions that would protect civil liberties and property rights, including police, armed forces, with no conscription, and judicial courts. Anarcho-capitalists, by contrast, oppose all taxation, rejecting any government claim for a monopoly of protection as unnecessary. They wish to keep the government out of matters of justice and protection, preferring to delegate these issues to private groups. Anarcho-capitalists argue that the minarchist belief that any monopoly on coercion can be contained within any reasonable limits is unrealistic, and that institutionalized coercion on any scale is counterproductive.

it is bollocks! Conservatives drafted the very fact of Independence and prevailed interior the Revolution, even through fact the liberals have been battling for King and u . s . a .. there became no "social" side, as detrimental to whilst lynching caught Tories (Liberals). discover I mentioned "prevailed in" as against "won" once you communicate that the French have been engaging. in an prolonged time, the liberals moved the two to Canada or back to Britain. Hmm, now there is an thought.

Yes. To uphold the law, not be social activists.
