Anarchy is, after all, libertarianism run amok.

And the progressives run amuck is marxism, the neoconservatives run amuck is fascism, what's your point. The Constitution is supposed to protect from these extremes, we are not just supposed to trust our leaders not to go there.

You don't seem to be grasping the whole point if libertariansim.

A nations constitution is a statement of the rules under which that nation is founded.

Ideologically pure libertariansim rejects any such rules which would fetter any person's freedom to do as he or she pleases as long as that conduct does not harm any oither person.

Therefore, a nation founded on and functioning according to libertarian principles would have no constitution.
