The Dallas Accord was a compromise between small government libertarians and anarchists at the 1974 Libertarian National Convention.

The result was to not state in the 1974 Libertarian Party Platform whether or not the state was recognized as legitimately existing.

Full adherence to this compromise ended in Portland in 2006 with the inclusion of the following language: "Government exists to protect the rights of every individual including life, liberty and property."
