INTRODUCTION:

The transference of responsibilities to the government and subsequent loss of the accompanying rights by the people, over the centuries, unfortunately produced the need for the general public to become reacquainted with the basic principles of liberty and freedom. The following resources provided by the Libertarian Party of Metropolitan Nashville and Davison County provide tools to aid in exploring the foundations and possibilities of a Libertarian society.
