Democracy is an 'ever present' form of human Freedom and Equality.

The most important 'relation' in the World is the relation between the Top and the Bottom, of any form of Government. 'Democratic' Government cannot assume any form, other than, a form that respects and protects the very People at the Bottom; the People that establishes the Government or Nation. Why is that? Simply, because Government cannot exist unless it 'understands' its 'institutional necessity', as an 'instrument' or 'institution', of its People, for the purpose of 'self-governing'. It cannot be otherwise, because there is no other source of 'political power', except from the 'very People' who are to be 'governed'. To be sure, its a complete cycle, but its a cycle that respects and protects the 'source' of Political Power. Its 'cyclic nature' and 'integrity' is what gives a Government, or Nation, its political identity. It seems that the 'condition of togetherness' became 'institutionally' necessary, before the 'realization' and 'understanding' that its 'institutionalization', required the exercise of political 'Power'. That's why 'power' was purportedly 'claimed' to arise from many different sources. The 'Autocratic form', purported to house power at the Top, simply from the fact, that the individual who assumed the Top position, was 'stronger', 'more forceful', or had 'power' from some 'Noble' source, or from a 'Divine' source. The relation of the One to the Many, or the Top to the Bottom, needed to be established and organized and the Top needed to exercise Power. So, from where could this 'power' come from? The only way to 'describe political power' is to explain it as a form of 'attributed power', and hence ,of necessity, had to 'emanate' from the 'governed', or the People, at the Bottom of Government. In such a scenario, the Top has its 'necessary' institutional, Political Power, and each individual at the Bottom retains his/her Freedom and Equality, as Individual Human Beings. 'Institutions' can have Political Power, not individuals, but individuals have 'strength' in the 'condition of togetherness', and as individuals, each is Equal to the Other, and each is as Free, as the Other. 'Democracy' is a 'permitted institution' that arises from the Bottom; viz. from the 'human condition', and 'attributes' institutional power, to the Top. 'Humanity' never takes 'second chair' to an Institution; that's why each individual retains, his/her, Freedom and Equality.
