Libertarians are for ultimate personal freedom with the least amount of government control. Therefore a libertarian government would not interfere in someones choice in having an abortion unless the embryo was deemed capable of living outside the womb and therefore would be considered as being a living being.

What is the Libertarian Movement?
A movement is an effort by many people aimed at a common goal. Since the 1970's, there have been people in the U.S. (and now around the world) who define themselves as part of a "libertarian movement."Most loosely defined, their common goal is more human freedom. More specifically, libertarians advocate a radically limited role for government and strict respect for individual rights.The libertarian movement encompasses all kinds of organizations and individuals, including hundreds of think tanks (the largest is the Cato Institute), periodicals (e.g. Reason), political parties (e.g. the U.S. Libertarian Party), intellectuals, academics, activists, and a few politicians.It's worth noting that many libertarians disagree with each other; some so vehemently that they disassociate themselves from "libertarianism" altogether. Most notably, fans of Ayn Rand and her philosophy of Objectivism are by any reasonable definition "libertarians," but many don't like to called libertarian.AnswerThere are two movements that call themselves libertarian that are fundamentally different. The first libertarian movement is also called libertarian socialist. Libertarian socialists believe in a socialism where the workers are recognized as the legitimate owners of the means of production as opposed to the government. They see complete free market capitalism as being against freedom, since workers do not control the means of production and must obey orders from the boss, who often doesn't do any of the work. Anarchists don't even want a government, while council communists want a government based on a federation of worker's councils and a central committee, but they want it to have limited powers with most power residing in the workers themselves. The other libertarian movement sees private property rights as being essential to freedom, including the right to work for a boss. They believe that a person has the right to rent their labor to others. At its extreme some libertarians, such as Robert Nozick want to make it legal to sell yourself into slavery seeing it as a voluntary exchange of one's lifetime of labor for money or some other reward. These libertarians are divided into minarchists who believe in some limited government to protect private property rights and provide some basic services such as defense and anarchocapitalists who believe that all services the government currently provides should be replaced with private defense agencies. Many socialist anarchists disagree that these are real anarchists.
What have been the most important roles of minor parties?
I'll assume we're talking about US minor parties: Libertarians, Greens, Constitutionalists, Modern Whigs, Communists, etc.These parties take on four major roles:First, the "textbook answer:" they provide a platform for non-mainstream political views. Greens remind us to care about the environment, Libertarians argue against big government, Whigs decry polarization and politicking and ask for common sense, and Communists rally against discrimination and exploitation. By doing so, they prevent the two-party establishment from ignoring real problems.Second, they "spoil" elections: their candidates presence benefits the major party they disagreewith. Most of the time, third parties draw from one major party more than the other. This costs the more closely-affiliated major party's votes and may tip a close election to the other side.Third, they may become a major party. This is rare, but has happened: the Republican party was once a small band of abolitionist progressives. Then they won the 1860 presidential election with the help of Democrat infighting.Fourth, they can be really entertaining. Politics is too serious a matter to not have some fun from time to time. The Boston Tea Party is an excellent example, they set out with the goal to make voters laugh--and think--and in my opinion do a pretty good job.They can't raise enough money. {APEX}-Sir DeSent-
What were the causes and ultimate outcome of the Dreyfus Affair?
It split France into two: Army, in which it consisted of the anit- Semites and Catholic Establishment. Then there was the civil libertarians. Dreyfus was then declared innocent after all the wars. But, the gonvernment severed all ties between state and catholic church. Salaries of the priests and bishops were now not being paid for by the government. And churches were being given to local commitees of lay catholics. The state school system's power pf indoctrination strengthened. And the only growing socialist movement in France was the Republican Nationalism. - 9th Grade Honors History Student. (Its in the book pg 854)
What foreign policies did the federalist administrations face in 1789-1800?
The Federalist Party, or at the very least its preceding policies and leaders, were in charge of the American federal government in its initial years. This meant that leaders like George Washington and John Adams were able to leave their mark early on how the presidency and cabinet would deal with foreign policy. The first major [http://www.associatedcontent.com/topic/17787/foreign_policy.html foreign policy] issue that the nation had to deal with was what to do in dealing with the French during their own revolution, beginning in 1789. Americans had initial sympathy for the Revolution, which held similar beliefs in democratic institutions to their own revolution. However, Americans (even Democratic-Republicans, who were largely connected with French leaders) lost sympathy as the revolution progressed into the Reign of Terror and a dictatorial government antithetical to American ideals of democratic rule. While the Federalists saw the Revolution as proof of the downfall of republican government and mourned the rise of "mob rule," the Democratic-Republicans saw the French Revolution as a more radicalized child of the successful American Revolution. However, both parties realized that the nation was too weakened and incapable of providing material support and remained neutral during the Revolution. During the 1790s, the Federalist [http://www.associatedcontent.com/topic/17787/foreign_policy.html foreign policy] was unstable at best. The pressures applied on the British from the north and from the west (many British soldiers had not yet left bases in the Ohio Valley) were coupled by the problems of dealing with the French in the Carribean. The 1794 Jay Treaty attempted to remedy problems with the British, but limited concessions were made to the United States while the British still held economic control over their former colonies. John Jay became persona non grata in the American government because many felt he had sold out American interests, but he did not have a good bargaining position and did a decent job considering his position. Meanwhile, the French were presenting troubles in the West Indies and the Adams administration had to deal with scandal and a poor defensive system. The XYZ Affair, which involved three American delegates being refused diplomatic recognition by the French without a "loan," showed the weakness of American standing in Europe. No matter how great the leader in the executive branch or how strong the will of Congress, there was little recourse in dealing with stronger European nations until the mid-1810s. However, the Federalists left a stronger nation when they lost the executive branch in the 1800 federal election. The Adams administration was active in 1798 in creating a stronger defensive network, including a stronger military, leadership training, and the suppression of revolution and treason within the American public. The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 increased the requirements for [http://www.associatedcontent.com/topic/111712/us_citizenship.html citizenship] and made unlawful opposition to federal law, insurrection, certain assemblies, and libel against the government. While the acts were controversial then and raised the ire of a great many civil libertarians, it was effective in raising the debate of how the nation could strengthen its borders and its defenses. As well, Adams sent delegates to France to relieve tensions with the Bonapartists, which ended with a return to reasonable relations, nullified previous agreements to create more favorable agreements all around, and made possible the 1803 acquisition of the Louisiana Territory. While the Federalists were unable to make peace and strong borders in their decade in power, they were able to set the table for future prosperity in America. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/27604/the_federalist_foreign_policy_for_america.html?cat=
