Party platform

The Libertarian Party's current platform is composed of the following issues:[6]

I. Personal liberty
"Individuals are inherently free to make choices for themselves and must accept responsibility for the consequences of the choices they make. Our support of an individual’s right to make choices in life does not mean that we necessarily approve or disapprove of those choices. No individual, group, or government may initiate force against any other individual, group, or government."

  • Self-Ownership
  • Expression and Communication
  • Privacy
  • Personal Relationships
  • Parental Rights
  • Crime and Justice
  • Death Penalty
  • Self-Defense


II. Economic liberty
"Libertarians want all members of society to have abundant opportunities to achieve economic success. A free and competitive market allocates resources in the most efficient manner. Each person has the right to offer goods and services to others on the free market. The only proper role of government in the economic realm is to protect property rights, adjudicate disputes, and provide a legal framework in which voluntary trade is protected. All efforts by government to redistribute wealth, or to control or manage trade, are improper in a free society."

  • Aggression, Property, and Contract
  • Environment
  • Energy and Resources
  • Government Finance and Spending
  • Government Debt
  • Government Employees
  • Money and Financial Markets
  • Marketplace Freedom
  • Licensing
  • Sex Work
  • Labor Markets
  • Education
  • Health Care
  • Retirement and Income Security


III. Securing liberty
"In the United States, constitutional limits on government were intended to prevent the infringement of individual rights by those in power. The only proper purpose of government, should it exist, is the protection of individual rights. The principle of non-initiation of force should guide relationships between governments."

  • National Defense
  • Internal Security and Individual Rights
  • International Affairs
  • Free Trade and Migration
  • Rights and Discrimination
  • Representative Government
  • Self-Determination
