Its role is limited to upholding the dictates of natural law. In this role, government is to support a person's life, property, family, business, and reputation. Government is to act justly and impartially and within its limited sphere of authority towards all human beings equally. Further, natural law is the basis of human rights. Every person has the right to equal protection under the law.
