If 'conditions of Justice' on the National level are to escalate into the International level, they must be well established on the National level. Otherwise, the escalation into other Nations is not acceptable. It would not be acceptable because it would be more of an encroachment than an escalation of the dignity of the human condition. It is very important that the origins of the escalation into other levels have a method by which to objectively judge the success of the 'conditions of Justice'. Lets face it, economics has no place in this determination. Nor does political ideology, if the ideology is founded solely on linguistic definitions. That's what makes it a different ideology. Never shall the twain meet. When referencing 'the People' in a democracy, we must be very careful how we categorize the particular class of individuals referenced. Of course, the class "all" should not be problematic. Hence, we have to be careful not to 'carve' out certain individuals from the class because that would not be inclusive enough to be democratic. In other words, we must use Number in our category and not a nebulous verbal definition. "All" is all. If we use Number its signification does not change. It's application remains fixed for all time( no pun intended). Of course, other categories are not as easy as the category "all". But, the essential characteristics of a democracy is that it's a Peoples government and that means a government "by" and "for all" the People. The two essential ingredients of a democracy are the Freedom and Equality of each individual. That's one hell of a good beginning point for crafting a viable democracy. Sub-classes may be problematic, but if the two essential aspects of a democracy are kept in mind, the solutions are less problematic than if we use verbal definitions. Hence, we have to configure a methodology for applying democracy by using some kind of algorithm for democracy. Where are the Statesmen?
