Political 'power' vs 'People's strength in numbers.

Political power is an 'institutional' power. It exists simply because Government, as an institution, has attributed said power to the Top of government. Otherwise, it would not exist. In a Democracy, the power at the Top of Government is a grant by the 'Many people' at the Bottom of Government. But, its an 'attributed' power and it only exists for the duration of Office. In other forms of government, the big issue is always, from where do they get power? Of course, they get their power from the 'already long-ago' established 'institution of government', and the 'ascension', regardless of how that occurs, into Office at the Top. In the ancient Divine Right of Kings type of rule, power was said to be of Divine origin. In other forms, power exists by virtue of holding political Office in the institutions of Government. There are no other sources of 'political' power. The Government, or the State, or the Nation must exist as a 'form' of Government. That necessity, in itself, coats the Top of government with a 'form' of 'institutional power'. In a Government "of People", "by People", and "for People", or stated differently, in a Democracy, the power comes from the Bottom, not the Institution. The essence of democratic government are the People, without which there would be no power in government. The 'Crafters' of the Constitution knew this and hence, 'crafted' the Three Branch Constitution, as a source of Institutional power, and the First Amendment as the strength of the People. The 'Bottom' in a Democracy has no institutional power, but the People 'in their condition of togetherness', have 'more strength' in 'Numbers', than, the Top. The Bottom has 'real strength', the Top only has 'institutional', or 'attributive' power. Whereas, the Top has power only for the duration of Office; the Bottom 'never loses' his/her 'strength in Numbers', because the People, 'crafted' the Constitution. Its futile to seek 'power', for 'powers sake'; the pursuit is 'empty' and of short duration. Money, at least, can be 'accumulated', but don't kid yourself, that's equally empty. The long-run will prove it. Government Office is a 'Noble Office', and should be 'pursued', but only for the 'right reasons', not the illusory reasons of 'power' and 'money'.
