Regarding society, we are made for community, not for a solitary existence. The state is one form of that community. But our relationships to each other are not found only in and through the state. Instead, we also are part of various other associations, including religious groups, philanthropic organizations, and other clubs. Among the most important, we are part of families, made up of parents, grandparents, children, siblings, and others.
But these goals are limited. They do not give the state permission to act in a tyrannical manner that reduces all human relationship to that between itself and individuals and all human goals to its own purposes. Families, especially, possess a sphere of independence in relation to government as well as to other forms of human organization. This independence extends both from the family’s origins and purposes. The state did not create the family; it preexisted the state.
