Libertarians are individuals who advocate for minimal government intervention in both personal and economic matters. They believe in individual freedom and personal responsibility, arguing that people should have the right to make their own choices as long as they do not harm others. This philosophy emphasizes limited government, free markets, and civil liberties. The Libertarian Party, founded in 1971, is the largest political party representing these views in the United States. Libertarians often support policies such as reducing taxes, ending the war on drugs, and promoting non-interventionist foreign policies. Their core belief is that a free society leads to greater prosperity and happiness for all.
