Answer 1

The Libertarian Party is an American political party founded in 1971. It is one of the largest continuing third parties in the United States, claiming more than 200,000 registered voters and more than 600 people in public office, including mayors, county executives, county council members, school board members and other local officials. It has more people in office than all other third parties combinedKey tenets of the Libertarian Party platform include the following:

Adoption of laissez-faire principles which will result in the complete separation of state and economics. This will include, among other things, enormous reduction in taxation, privatization of Social Security and welfare (for both individuals and companies), elimination of business regulation, abolition of labor regulations such as the minimum wage and the cessation of government interference in foreign trade.
Protection of property rights.
Minimal government bureaucracy. The Libertarian Party states that the government's responsibilities should be limited to the protection of individual rights from the initiation of force and fraud with a military, police force, and court system.
Strong civil liberties positions, including privacy protections, freedom of speech, freedom of association, and sexual freedom.
Support for the unrestricted right to the means of self-defense (such as gun rights, the right to carry mace or pepper spray, etc).
Abolition of laws against victimless crimes (prostitution, driving without a seatbelt, use of controlled substances, etc.).
Opposition to conscription.
A foreign policy of free trade and non-interventionism.
Libertarians state that their platform follows from consistent application of the principle of mutual respect for rights, and the liberty of exercise thereof, and thus are deeply supportive of the concept of individual liberty as a pre-condition for moral and stable societies. In their "Statement of Principles", they declare: "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 do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose." To this end, Libertarians want to reduce the size of government (eliminating many of its current functions entirely).
