Democracy begins at the Top

Democracy begins at the Top of triadic government. The reason for that is that the theory of democracy provides the framework for the exercise of democracy and a government needs a framework before it can judge 'activity' at the Bottom. The Constitution, which 'constitutes' the Nation, does that. The actual practice of democracy is at the Bottom of government. That is why we have said the essence of democracy is at the Bottom where all the People 'live'. It is just as important that the framework of democratic government, as a constant triadic movement, be retained as is the actual practice, by the People, of 'real' democracy. Both, the 'implementation' and the 'practice' must complement and support each other. The Top is duty bound to implement the basic structure; the Bottom to 'live' it. If the Top fails to implement the basic structure, the Bottom has a Constitutional right to invoke the 'strength' of the First Amendment, to wit; " peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Notice, I state the 'strength' of the First Amendment. The reason for that is that the Amendment does not grant 'power'. Only the Top has been granted the power of Office. The Bottom has the 'strength' that comes with the right to 'assemble'. The strength of Numbers. The Top enforces its 'power' through law; the Bottom its strength through 'assembly'. That is a Right, in a proper case, to revolution. That's why law must be Constitutional and 'assembly' peaceful. However, the Judiciary has established a distinction between 'Public' and 'private'. The public sphere is governed by law, hence the government 'controls' assembly and, by that means, can curtail the Constitutional exercise of 'assembly'. No law should curtail the proper exercise of a Constitutional Right.
