Abstract
Lao Tzu's perspective on the state and governance is examined in this article in order to support anarchism in his philosophical system.

People in political society are also. The parents would not have carried out that action. This is so because each person has a unique human character. notably the uncontrollable aspects of nature Therefore, Lao Tzu's political philosophical idea of focusing on the independence of the people was therefore considered to be paramount. The idea of a state and a government denies the ability of the state and the ruler to impose force and take action. However, those must be meager powers of government.
