Per NCERT, what is the LIBERTARIAN view (associated with Robert Nozick) on the role of the state in distributive justice?
AThe state should redistribute all property equally each year
BThe state should impose a state religion
CThe state should be MINIMAL — limited to protecting rights and contracts, with no role in redistributing wealth
DThe state should own all economic resources
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The state should be MINIMAL — limited to protecting rights and contracts, with no role in redistributing wealth
Libertarianism (Nozick) endorses the minimal state per NCERT — the opposite of redistributive social-democratic views. The other options misstate it.
