Alter or abolish is definitely not the only purpose, that I've always said.
However, if a government is getting ready to strart destroying unalienable rights, the killing off of the people fits into that. About the time the unity created starts protecting the peoples lives, what served the purpose of creating the unity is fairly well ultimate.
This pretty fits into the "root purpose" which is biologically social. The PURPOSE in that case is to assure information vital to survival is shared and understood.
The ultimate purpose of a firearm is the same, but you can still shoot cans with it.
