ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses the role of government in the creation of institutions for security. It shows that since the institutions of private charity are affected by government, their activities can be understood in relation to the state. Insecurity involves often the fear of poverty, and it is possible to focus on the poor, or impoverished, or the recipients of welfare as the people involved in a consideration of state policies on security. It has been attempted to show a legal obligation on the part of the defendant by virtue of our statute, which compels lineal kindred in the ascending or descending line to support such of their poor relations as are likely to become chargeable to the town where they have their settlement. The New Deal itself could be framed by President Franklin Pierce and his 1854 veto of the bill that would involve the federal government in care of the indigent insane and Franklin Roosevelt's Second Bill of Rights.
