The human condition is sacred: Institutions of all types are necessary.

The only thing sacred in a civilization is the human condition. Institutions of all types become necessary because of the number of human beings that have to live side-by-side, next-to-each-other. Governments, economies, societies, religions, etc. all become necessary institutions because they help 'weld together' the humans who house them. None of these institutions created the human condition: to the contrary, the 'human condition' created the institutions. Hence, no institution can be more important than the human condition. Nevertheless, institutions become necessary because of the complexities that arise from the necessity of humans having to live 'in a condition of togetherness'. Fortunately or unfortunately, the People need government, as they also need institutions that address their physical, economic, social and spiritual needs. But, the most necessary of institutions is that of government. The reason for that is that the 'condition of togetherness' requires governing. 'Isolated' individuals may be able to live alone, but individuals in a 'condition of togetherness' cannot. Any 'condition of togetherness' must have government, and government cannot govern without Law. 'Governing' and 'Law' are basically the same thing. You can't have one without the other. In spite of the absolute necessity of government and Law, the human condition remains 'sacred'. Since government is required to govern a 'condition' it did not create, it must govern democratically. No one individual is more important than the other and governing requires that the Freedom and Equality of each individual, at the Bottom of government, be respected and protected. The One ( at the Top) must respect, protect, and help those( at the Bottom) who have basic needs, in order to survive, in their 'condition of togetherness'. That makes a Nation strong.
