As much as I hate Wikipedia at times, it's a perfectly competent way of reminding you that the left-wing persepective on Government isn't the only one available to subscribe to. I'm far keener on the idea that government exists (or should exist) to protect natural rights (ambiguous at best, but that's a discussion for another day). This is fairly close to the Social Contract theory, which also strikes me as quite nifty.
