"a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities."~Thomas Jefferson~

To protect life liberty and property.
These rights are either God given as part of the Divine plan, or they are granted by government as part of the political plan. If we accept that these rights are granted by Government, then we must also accept that they can be denied by government.

The role is outlined in the Constitution and BOR's.  Have they over exceeded their authority yet?? When a gov't does that ,it is tyranny.

The base role of gov't is to provide for the common defense of the nation and its citizens.
