Libertarianism' is a term used by a spectrum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_spectrum)[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian#cite_note-StanfordEncyclopedia-0) of political philosophies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_philosophy) which seek to promote individual liberty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty)[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian#cite_note-1) and seek to minimize or even abolish the state (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State).[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian#cite_note-2)[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian#cite_note-3) The extent to which government (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government) may be necessary is evaluated on a variety of distinct metaphysical (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysic), epistemological (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemological), and ethical (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethic) grounds.[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian#cite_note-Encyc-Philo-4) "What it means to be a libertarian in a political sense is a contentious issue, especially among libertarians themselves. There is no single theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_theory) that can be reliably identified as the libertarian theory, and no single principle or set of principles on which all libertarians would agree."[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian#cite_note-5)

The Libertarian way is a logically consistent approach to politics based on the moral principle of self-ownership. Each individual has the right to control his or her own body, action, speech, and property. Government's only role is to help individuals defend themselves from force and fraud.
