The Cato Institute is a group of grown-ups who believe that people should have more freedom to do things without the government telling them what to do. They think that the government should only do certain things like make sure people are safe and help make sure everyone gets treated fairly. They also think that businesses and people should be able to make their own choices without too much interference from the government. They write and talk about these ideas to try and help people understand why they think this way.
