@rowandy85 I agree. That's what I think. The only problem is, people like you and me are not very common in this country. So many people here actually think that the founding fathers had the right to sign away their freedoms to this government that they had created. Just like they think that time and time again different people had the right to expand it; none of them did. I'm glad to find someone who agrees with me.
@Skyler827 Then it only gives the authority over those men and the men on who's behalf they signed it. I never signed it and neither did I have anyone sign it on my behalf, so it has no "legitimate" authority over me, and neither does the government that derives itself from it.
@rowandy85 The men who signed it on behalf of the 13 States on September 17, 1787. They gave it the authority. The Constitution is widely believed to outline what government should and should not have the power to do. But I'm not saying that it is absolutely right. I am an anarchist myself, and as good as the constitution is, lets just say I use the term "legitimate" government function somewhat liberally.
hahaha hydrogen oxide, thats funny. I didn't know hydrogen oxide was ice either, but I wouldn't sign a petition for something I didn't understand.
Although if you think about it, what if I were in that situation. Protesting outside a chem lab for injecting animals or something, and someone came up to me with a petition to sign to ban hydrogen oxide for use in iced tea... I don't know if I'd sign it but I might if they convinced me it was dangerous. Taught me a lesson. We all need wifi phones!
@xtreme1002003 I agree that Military is a legitimate government function. It is outlined in the constitution, and weather or not it could be safely be done in a free market is debatable. But if it could be done by a free market, then my explanation is the best guess I have as to how it could be done. But I agree with your last point: the nanny state and social welfare programs are not legitimate government functions.

@Skyler827
What gives the Constitution authority to determine what is a "legitimate" government function?

@billyjoeallen How do you find it possible for a free nation to continue unmolested by its enemies without a large and capable military?
