AII, III and IV
BI, III and IV ✓ Correct
CI, II and III
DI, II and IV
Answer: B
Explanation
★For individualist writers the proper functions of the state are I, III and IV.
★The state should maintain internal law and order, the basic protective task of any government, so I belongs.
★It should protect the community from foreign aggression, the external side of that protective role, so III belongs.
★It should enforce mutual agreements that are legally valid, that is uphold contracts freely made between individuals, so IV belongs.
★These are the limited, night watchman functions individualists allow, leaving most of life to the free choices of individuals.
★So I, III and IV is the correct combination.
