@YoMomz @Stahesh Even at a village level, civil law based on a contract, even if that contract is three sentences on a napkin with thumbprints in poke-berry ink or functionally a receipt for services to be rendered, contract enforcement is the second function of minimalist government after defense from outside threats because ultimately, you need someone to arbitrate and judge in a situation where the parties cannot come to a decision without resorting to violence between themselves.
