You have the right to turn your phone off and not allow calls to go through. You have the right to block incoming calls, filter who gets to come through, and hang up on anyone you want to hang up, at any time, for any reason. You can also pay the phone company an extra fee to make your phone number unlisted, though that won't prevent robocalls.
There is no way for "government" to prevent people from dialing random numbers and ending up at your phone number. That is how robocalls typically work. They dial numbers til someone answers.
