Gadsden Flag:
"Christopher Gadsden led Sons of Liberty in South Carolina starting in 1765, and was made colonel in the Continental Army. In Philadelphia 1775 he was in in the Continental Congress. He was also one of three members of the Marine Committee who decided to outfit and man the Alfred and its sister ships.
Gadsden and Congress chose a Rhode Island man, Esek Hopkins, as the commander-in-chief of the Navy. The flag that Hopkins used as his personal standard on the Alfred is the one we would now recognize. It's likely that John Paul Jones, as the first lieutenant on the Alfred, ran it up the gaff.
It's generally accepted that Hopkins' flag was presented to him by Christopher Gadsden, who felt it was especially important for the commodore to have a distinctive personal standard. Gadsden presented a copy of this flag to his state legislature in Charleston."

Libertarian Porcupine:
Similar to the Gadsden is the Libertarian Porcupine. The porcupine is a docile creature: passive in nature, until provoked. Libertarians have commonly used the Statue of Liberty as their emblem. However since the "Free state project" the Libertarian porcupine has been shown in different ways. There is another design mimicking the The Gadsden's "Don't tread on me," as "Don't Tread On Anyone". I picked this one as it represents the same color pattern style as other political parties.

Minarchy or Minarchism:
Minarchists unlike Anarchists still believe in the State, yet seek it to be as limited as possible.
Coined in 1971 by Samuel Edward Konkin III.
Minarchism or minimal statism is a political philosophy. States ought to exist, but their only legitimate function is protection of individuals from aggression, theft, breach of contract, and fraud. The only legitimate governmental institutions are the military, police, and courts.
Minarchists argue that the state has no authority to use its monopoly of force to interfere with free transactions between people, and see the state's sole responsibility as ensuring contracts between private individuals and property are protected, through a system of law, courts. Minarchists generally believe a laissez-faire approach to the economy is most likely to lead to economic prosperity.
Minarchist: The most common form of libertarian, this is someone who believes in government at it's absolute minimum, generally taken to mean a government that suppress crime (defined as force and fraud) and foreign invasion. In the eyes of a minarchist, all other government functions are negative, and there should be no social engineering whatsoever.
