'Government' is essential: 'Freedom and Equality' are essential.

Government is essential, in the same manner as any large 'group', 'collection', 'condition of togetherness',(of the Many)is essential. The Bottom needs a 'pivot' by which to organize itself. The 'pivot' is the centralized function that helps the Many to remain in a 'condition of togetherness'. If the 'pivot' or government did not exist, nothing could 'guide' the arrangement of the Many at the Bottom. If the 'togetherness', at the Bottom, does not exist, neither will the 'strength' of the condition. The Bottom does not have 'allocated power' like the Top, but it has 'strength in Numbers. Hence, Government, governing, and Freedom and Equality of the Many individuals, is a mutually supporting system with allocated power at the Top and strength in numbers at the Bottom. Government would not be necessary, if there was only one, or ,even a few, individuals on the 'island'. Government needs People just as much as People need government. Neither is more important than the other. Working together and mutually supporting each other is essential. Otherwise, there will always be a 'tension' between the Top and the Bottom. However, it must not be forgotten, that 'strength in numbers' will always be superior to 'power allocated' among just a few individuals at the Top. The individuals 'integrity', 'dignity', and the uniqueness, of his/her humanity, will always be a paramount consideration in determining the essential nature of government. Here, enters democratic forms of government. The reason being that democratic forms of government get their 'allocated power' from the Many individuals at the Bottom. It cannot be otherwise. No 'power' exists at the Top, when that power is 'self-attributed' by that very same Top. No, "We the People...", in a 'condition of togetherness', allocate power, and our 'strength' is in the 'Numbers of the condition'. Such is the condition of "assembly".
