When we use the term "top", we mean the institutionalized form of the government.
When we use the term "bottom" we mean each and every individual that lives in a
condition of togetherness or community and who is the subject of government.
When we say "bottom" we do not use the term in a 'purely' abstract manner. We
use the term to linguistically encode or 'cover' the entire area of the bottom of the
tradic form of government. The term "number"is a better term to apply to the
bottom because it includes each and every individual constituting the social
sphere of the political entity. No one can be left out. The means of doing just
this must be incorporated into the proceedural aspects of law. We must figure out
how to reduce a purely conceptual justice to a practical, inclusive, "fair play" that
relates to each and every individual to whom the concept applies in any particular
situation. This necessity arises because the Top is an abstract generality and can
only communicate to the bottom, which is real, in linguistic fashion. But, when
the Top implements democracy it must do so in a real way. Hence, real
democracy should always reach the person or persons it is intended for. Of
course, not all political or legal actions apply to everyone at any point in time.
But, the issue of Freedom and Equality do!
   The Top houses power. Otherwise, it could not act. But, it gets its power from
the Constitution. It cannot get power from any other source. In a political entity
there is no other source for power. But the Top must comply with the four
corners of the Constitution. Obviously, any departure from the four corners of
the Constitution would be an abuse of power. This fact means that the Judicial
Branch has no business implementing policy nor deviating, in their
interpretations, from the structure of the Constitution. It also means that those
in power should not 'pack' the courts. Failing compliance means the bottom
can 'complain' in the only legal way it can 'complain', by unifying and
'flexing their muscle' in their condition of togetherness. Stated differently,
by revolution.
