A night watchman state is a state whose only job is to protect its citizens' negative rights. This means that the government is limited to the courts, the police and defense. A night watchman state is the type of government preferred by most libertarians. The night watchman state can also be referred to as minarchy; an advocate of a night watchman state is called a minarchist, as opposed to an anarchist who rejects the legitimacy of government completely.
