Is that your selection? The purpose of the State?

Sure it is. - Is there something wrong about discussing:
'The Proper Function Of Government'?

The purpose of the state is not the same as the proper form of gov't. Gov't and state are different things.

The proper form of gov't is a much wider topic with any number of political theorists sounding off. The purpose of the state has not been developed to any great extent.

In answer to your generalities; - I think Benson did a great job in his essay in developing how the 'purpose of the state' should correlate with the 'proper role of government' in our Constitutional Republic.
