Of course you don't, because you feel you can handle your life without government involvement. Want to form a partnership with someone, just make a simple contract.

But when the partnership goes sour, the enforcement or dissolution of the contract is up to the government to mediate... make that dictate. Any changes in the law after the contract was made, could void all or part of that contract.
