Liberalism is a doctrine that certain types of states can be justification, the starting point of which is, generally, the anarchic state of nature, then argues that it inevitably goes out off the state, and enters a political state. Liberalism, opposed to Hobbes's view of the state of despotism and Absolute monarchy, emphasizes that only can the political state which protects its citizen's rights be justified, the justification for a country is prerequisite for its legitimacy, Are two main types of modern liberalism as represented by Rawls and Nozick, the former emphasizes on achievement of the equality, namely, rights of freedom and dignity, of all citizens on Kantian philosophy, the latter emphasizes the supremacy of individual rights on Locke's philosophy. The viewpoint of state which John Rawls's theory of justice described though is not about the minimal state, but can be justified strongly.
