Rav Hirsch was major backer of
the concept that Gov’ts ought to enforce the 7 mitzvos
And our prime role in this world is to encourage them and bring them forward to it
Rav Herzog,Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan,
Rabbi Yoel Schwartz
have each written extensively
on this
Rabbi Yoel Schwartz has explained ,how is it over the centuries this primary role was left undeveloped? He answers we unfortunately weren’t in a position to bring to their goals
Rav Hirsch similarly compares us for most of those centuries to Yaakov ,just trying to survive.Then we progress to Yitzchak ,and then to Avraham Avinu who guided all the people of the world
