Taxation
#24
Reb,

Thank you for the answer you gave.

The answer that you gave refers to the administration of fair justice law and order within a society. That didn't specifically refer to government but is something that government can be a tool to do. So my next question is this:

Does the Noahide Laws explicit command the creation of governments?

Again, my understanding of governments (a ruling power) and courts is that they are different things. So in my mind, since one is not the other, and the law of Dinim refers to the setting up of courts, does that mean that there is no explicity command to set up governments?

Also, another question: as you know, the Talmud states that all noahide laws are prohibitions. It states that Dinim is included in the seven because of its prohibiting nature. The popular way of stating the law of Dinim (that I've heard from many) is as a positive command to set up courts of justice and to enforce justice. Is there a clear understanding of what the prohibition of the law of Dinim is? If so, what is it? And what is its source?

Thanks Reb, and Shalom.
David
