守夜人国家

守夜人国家（英语：night-watchman state）是一种国家形式，其以小政府为特点。在守夜人国家，政府的唯一角色就是透过军队、警察、法院来确保每位公民皆在遵守互不侵犯原则，以让他们免受侵略、偷窃、违约、诈骗、财产法的干预。推广它的人统称为小政府主义者（minarchists）^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]。

此一类型的政体跟美国自由意志主义、客观主义、右派自由意志主义等政治理念密切相关，不过无政府主义者以外的自由意志社会主义者及左翼自由意志主义者同样会支持小政府主义^[5]^[6]。一些无政府主义者及左翼自由意志主义者相信社会安全网对于工人阶级而言只是短期的目标。长远而言一旦国家及资本主义被推翻，那么就不需要之。故此亦同样支持建立最小限度的福利国家^[7]^[8]。另外一些左翼自由意志主义者认为在废除社会福利保障之前，应先废除公司福利（英语：Corporate welfare）^[9]。

罗伯特·诺齐克在《无政府、国家与乌托邦》（1974）中支持建立守夜人国家，使得此一概念变得普及起来^[10]。历史学家查尔斯·汤森德形容，19世纪的英国是守夜人国家的典范^[11]。

1862年，德国社会主义者斐迪南·拉萨尔在柏林发表的一篇演讲中首次用到了守夜人国家（德语：Nachtwächterstaat）一词。他于当中批评了“资产阶级自由主义小政府国家”的无所作为，就像守夜人一样只是为了防止其他人盗取财产而存在。很快，此一用词就被用于形容资本主义政府。相关情况在自由主义开始用于代指更为参与社会事务的国家后也没有改变^[12]。

路德维希·冯·米塞斯于后来评论指，即使拉萨尔想令小政府看上去荒唐可笑，但没什么比起需要虑及“如何制作酸菜、裤扣及出版报纸”的政府更为可笑荒谬^[13]。

推广它的人统称为小政府主义者（minarchists）。“minarchists”是“minimum”跟“-archy”的混成词。Arche（/ˈɑːrki/; 古希腊语：ἀρχή）是希腊语用词，意指“首位、权力”、“统治方法”、“帝王、王国”、“权威”、“命令” ^[14]。小政府主义者一词为塞缪尔·爱德华·康金三世（英语：Samuel Edward Konkin III）于1980年所创^[15]。

一般来说，小政府主义者认为只有在逻辑上坚守互不侵犯原则的国家，才能够被证成^[16]^[1]^[3]。他们认为无政府资本主义是不切实际的，因为在这样的一个社会执法者之间是容许竞争的，不足以使人遵守互不侵犯原则^[17]。另一个反对无政府资本主义的常见理由就是，私人辩护公司和法院公司往往会偏袒付钱给他们的人的利益^[18]。

一些小政府主义者认为国家会无可避免地继续存在，故此任何尝试建立无国家社会的努力都是徒劳无功的^[19]。罗伯特·诺齐克在《无政府、国家与乌托邦》（1974）中推广了守夜人国家此一概念，并认为它提供了一个基本框架，以让尊重个人基本权利的政治制度能够跟从，令国家的存在能够被道德证成^[10]^[20]。
