Question

Which political group seeks to expand liberty above all other principles and wishes to minimize government intervention in the economy and the society?

Answer 1

The libertarian political group. All libertarians have a conception of personal autonomy that focuses on civil liberties and a reduction or elimination of the state.

Libertarians do not believe in state authority and power. They seek political freedom and autonomy, emphasizing freedom of choice, voluntary association and individual judgment. They argue that where there is a government, it should not violate the rights of any individual (the right to life, the right to freedom of expression and action, and the right to property).

Libertarians do not believe in the omnipotent state and defend the rights of the individual. That means all individuals have the right to exercise exclusive dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in the manner they choose, as long as they do not interfere with the equal rights of others.

In other words, people should not be forced to sacrifice their lives and property for the benefit of others. They should be left free by the government to deal with each other as free traders (free market).

Explanation:

Libertarianism is a direction within political philosophy that emphasizes individual freedom, especially the freedom to act and to express oneself. The term libertarianism includes different views and organizations, which have in common that they want to minimize or eliminate the state and aim to maximize individual freedom.

Common positions in libertarianism are the advocacy of a limited state, private ownership and minimally regulated laissez-faire capitalism. Libertarians often, but not exclusively, focus on the moral and ethical aspects of democracy, the state and society.
