I like the concept of self-governance but why not just eliminate the concept of government of men over men altogether as humans lived for over the first 10 millions years of their existence. They then lived under the universal natural law applicable to all but obeyed only by the innocent. "One's life is one's responsibility in its entirety. Any innocent act one can take in the pursuit of one's happiness is one's absolute inalienable natural human right. These include the 5 rights of property of INNOCENTLY acquiring, possessing, using, defending and disposing of any item of property. A crime is any act of harm by anyone by force or fraud against the innocent or their property. It is the responsibility of the criminal to make his or her victim(s) whole again through a process of restitution." If everyone chooses to live by that law and incorporates it in their insurance policies by contract to protect their rights, we'll have gone a long way toward a free society. That way, everything can be provided by entrepreneurs. That way, cops would not have the dual contradictory role of protecting criminals in government and the rights of government's victims as well. Justice would be provided by insurance and security companies contractually.
