The People are at the Bottom; the Bottom is also called, the 'social'.

Today, the 'essence' of 'governing' is also known as the 'social'. That's where all the People are situated, in the ancient relation of the 'One' and the 'Many', or, to put it in more contemporary 'terms', that's where the People are situated in the relation of the Top and the Bottom of government. The ancients used to refer to this linguistic relation as the One and the Many. The two polies could not be reconciled because the 'linguistic source' of the terms was the same. The 'One' was at the Top and the 'Many' was at the Bottom of the governing relation. But, the power to govern had to come from somewhere, and I imagine they sought that 'power' somewhere 'above' the tern called 'the One'. Probably, that's why they came up with the concept of the "king" and eventually justified the concept with the 'quasi-religious' concept of the "Kings Two Bodies". One was Divine, the other was Mundane. That doesn't work anymore. They never went to the term, 'the Many' for the inspiration of government. In todays governing, the inspiration for the power of governing comes from the Bottom, viz. the social, all the individuals in their 'condition of togetherness'. If there is any divine components to todays government its the 'divinity' of each and every human being at the Bottom. But, we no longer need a 'divine concept' to govern the Many. The recognized concepts of the Freedom and Equality of each individual works perfectly. Today, we don't have those ancient problems, but, we do have problems. Contemporary problems deals with the many 'twisted versions' of what the term, "the social" means. The term 'social' has acquired an "ism", and just as the term "commune" ( which is a Biblical term) acquired an "ism' and became a much detested term, "communism", the term "social" has become "socialism", a much detested term. The essence of government i.e. the Bottom has become 'contaminated' by linguistic shenanigans.
