You have a ways to go, but there may be hope for you. :)

I'll tackle the easy ones and leave some for others who might have something to say regarding them:

National defense: Not necessary if sovereign individuals are armed. Next to impossible for an invading force to subdue and occupy each and every household of sovereign individuals. This would be far easier when there is a government to take over.

Interstate Commerce: It's not necessary and not good to regulate any type of commerce between free sovereign individuals.

Foreign Relations: All relations are foreign except those with oneself. Not necessary nor good for someone who's not directly involved to try to control them in any way.

More on this later.

Welcome to the Blue, Jack! GF
