The argument has been made in the past that the governments that start out the smallest and most non-invasive, like how the US was as a republic, are the ones that end up the most tyrannical and over reaching. The US is quickly becoming proof of that.

Governments do not work, they always fail because everything they're about (aggression) is against human nature. Humans are not inherently violent, they only become violent when you place them under a hierarchical system of aggression, otherwise known as the state.

Here's a really good/thought provoking debate with Peter Schiff and Stefan Molyneux.. Schiff is a minarchist, Molyneux is an anarchist.
