Baruch Spinoza (24 November 1632 – 21 February 1677)
The
ultimate aim of government is not to rule, or restrain, by fear, nor to
exact obedience, but contrariwise, to free every man from fear, that he
may live in all possible security; in other words, to strengthen his
natural right to exist and work without injury to himself or others.
No, the object of government is not to change men from rational beings into beasts or puppets, but to enable them to develop their minds and bodies in security, and to employ their reason unshackled; neither showing hatred, anger, or deceit, nor watched with the eyes of jealousy and injustice. In fact, the true aim of government is liberty.
