Bastiat asserted that the only purpose of government is to
defend the right of an individual to life, liberty, and property.
From this definition, Bastiat concluded that the law cannot
defend life, liberty and property if it promotes socialist
policies inherently opposed to these very things. In this way,
he says, the law is perverted and turned against the thing it is
supposed to defend. (Introduction by Wikipedia)
