Discuss: The State's Role

Socratic discussion on the role of the state.

Learners can ask follow-up questions and keep the thread going.

This is a synthesis question — we need to connect a few different concepts from the chapter to fully explain the state's role.

Let's handle one at a time. Describe the state's role regarding "negative liberty" in your own words first. Once that is clear, we can look at the other dimensions like positive liberty and reasonable restrictions.
