TEN PRINCIPLES OF A FREE SOCIETY

As I was doing some research to help me gather a deeper understanding of some of the basic principles of freedom, I came across a book called Liberty Defined by Ron Paul. i was impressed by the clarity of what I read as well as the articulation of some of the basic  principles of a good and free government. This list is a great enumeration of some of the ideals that have always made America attractive to others around the world and they truly are some of the principles that this nation was founded upon. Please readthem, consider them, and let me know if you agree with them.
Peace. Freedom. Prosperity.

This is the Appendix to Ron Paul's new book, Liberty Defined.       
  1. Rights belong to individuals, not groups; they derive from our nature and can neither be granted nor taken away by government.
  2. All peaceful, voluntary economic and social associations are permitted; consent is the basis of the social and economic order.
  3. Justly acquired property is privately owned by individuals and voluntary groups, and this ownership cannot be arbitrarily voided by governments.
  4. Government may not redistribute private wealth or grant special privileges to any individual or group.
  5. Individuals are responsible for their own actions; government cannot and should not protect us from ourselves.
  6. Government may not claim the monopoly over a people's money and governments must never engage in official counterfeiting, even in the name of macroeconomic stability.
  7. Aggressive wars, even when called preventative, and even when they pertain only to trade relations, are forbidden.
  8. Jury nullification, that is, the right of jurors to judge the law as well as the facts, is a right of the people and the courtroom norm.
  9. All forms of involuntary servitude are prohibited, not only slavery but also conscription, forced association, and forced welfare distribution.
  10. Government must obey the law that it expects other people to obey and thereby must never use force to mold behavior, manipulate social outcomes, manage the economy, or tell other countries how to behave.
