Underlying democracy, the economy and Capitalism is the human condition.

Democracy is at the Bottom of Triadic government and every government needs an economy and our economy is a Capitalistic economy. But underlying all these institutions is the individual in the social, or, the human condition. Certainly, a Capitalistic economy is a complex economy and at a certain point in its evolution it was perceived that a Capitalistic economy could benefit from the creation of the corporate structure. Consequently, "legal fictions" were created. As we all know, all one needs to do to 'form' a corporation is file so-called Articles of Incorporation. Once that is done and approved by the proper agency of the State, the corporation is 'born'. The corporation gets a Charter from the State which acknowledges its legal existence. It then 'exists' as a 'legal fiction', which is recognized by Law and is protected by Law as a 'person' under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. But, as we have said every Democratic government is a People government. That means that the People are the essence of democracy and hence also of government. The sacred aspect in any government are the human beings at the Bottom of triadic or of Three Branch government. Three Branches, that must function as a Triad. One branch legislates laws; another interprets laws and the Executive governs by law. All that is a Constitutional 'given', but I reiterate, underlying all these political, economic, institutions is the human condition. At this point we reach a condition that is not dependent, for its very existence, on any governmental, economic, Capitalistic, or legal institution. On the contrary, all these institutions are dependent on the intelligence of the human condition. Its the human condition which is sacred. And its the Freedom and Equality of every individual that must be protected by law. A good definition of 'human being' is a human being who exists under law and order within a real democratic government.
