The foundational purpose of government

Preach it, Madison!
It is sufficiently obvious, that persons and property are the two great subjects on which Governments are to act; and
that the rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted.
These rights cannot well be separated."
