The reason we talk about a top and a bottom is because every government is
a relation between someone who governs and those who are governed. The
governors can be an individual, several individuals, or an institution crafted by
a Constitution. The governed is always a multitude of individuals. The bottom
is always constituted of real individuals. Each is unique, free and equal to another
who is subject to the laws of the same government. If the bottom is to survive it must
live in a condition of togetherness or community. Hence, the need for laws.
The individual at the top is just as free and equal as the individual at the bottom.
There is no distinction between human beings. Despite uniqueness, and different
talents, every individual is equally human.
      But, the top has been given abstract power. The power to govern according to
the provisions of the Constitution that constituted the structure of government.
Without power, the top cannot govern, hence the necessity of abstract power.
The bottom, namely, the individual, cannot have power. He or she may have
possessions, money, social status, be gifted, or hold positions that grant authority.
Regardless, all individuals are unique, have individuality and human dignity.
As an individual with human dignity, s/he deserves to be counted. S/he are number.
If "We the People..." are to be counted we cannot be abstract, we must be Number.
In a democracy, everyone must be included.
