Anarcho-capitalism and minarchism

Anarcho-capitalism and minarchism are two different types of views about governments and people's rights.

Anarcho-capitalism is the idea that no government should have power over people's lives. People would be allowed to make their own decisions, and be in charge of their own lives instead of having laws that are there to tell them what to do.

Minarchism is the idea that there should be a very small government, with only the power to protect people's basic rights like life, liberty, and property. The government would not be in charge of things like education, health care, or telling people what to do. It would just be there to make sure that everyone was safe and had their rights protected.
