This function of government goes beyond maintaining order by enforcing contracts. As part of ensuring the fair regulation of the economy, the government regulates many financial transactions to make sure that everyone involved has enough information to make intelligent choices.

Drug companies must submit potential drugs to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to make sure they are safe before they are offered for sale.
