One individual on an Island does not need Law.

One individual on an Island does not need Government, and hence, does not need Law. Since Law is a necessary component of Government, and since One Individual on an Island does not need Government, s/he does not need Law. But, the Many, at the Bottom of Government need both Government and Law. Consequently, an essential aspect of a Democratic Government of Many People, is that they need both Government and Law. The problematic, is that Language, in general, is not 'accurate'. We all know that "the map is not the territory", but, nevertheless, we have to use the "map" to communicate. That gives, so-called "political Science", a substantial nudge into the field of 'science-fiction'. In the same way that science-fiction cannot be 'real science', politics cannot be a real "political science". A science, of 'whatever', always involves a 'quantification' of the subject matter. If political science was to be a 'lot closer' to a 'real' science, it would have to 'quantify'. That is not as far-fetched as it sounds. The reason is that, although, we can't quantify the Top of government, because of its reliance on Language, it is possible to 'quantify' the Bottom of Government, or stated differently, it is possible to 'quantify' the Individuals at the Bottom. Nevertheless, the Top or the Three Branch Government, is about as 'perfect' as it can get. Of course, not because the Top is 'quantifiable', but because it has Three Branches, at the Top, and If each Branch performs its duties in a correct manner, that's an 'accurate way' to Legislate, Adjudicate, and 'Govern' as well as possible. Each Branch 'checks' the Other. We all know that, and its the only way to short-circuit the Linguistic Turn. But, when it comes to the Bottom, each and every Individual can be 'counted' or 'accounted for' in such fashion as to be 'included' or 'excluded' in any one policy or Law. If a Law applies to everyone, no-one can be excluded. Freedom and Equality is enjoyed by everyone and hence cannot be curtailed by Law. Of course, the parameters of Freedom and Equality need to be defined by the Law, but if any Law curtails an Individuals freedom or equality, it cannot stand. That would be, an Unconstitutional law. But, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Individual human beings are 'Numbers', and that they are 'not People'. I'm saying that an 'autonomous' Individual within the 'domain' or 'target' of any Policy or Law, can be 'counted' or included or excluded, from the 'applicable' domain of the policy or Law. If we 'quantify' the 'applicability' of Law, or policy, we can better measure the 'success or failure' of that particular Law or policy. Its the applicability of Law or policy that is being quantified, not the Individual. We quantify in the economy; we quantify in Taxation; we quantify in many areas of the social, so why not also in the 'applicability' of a 'Just system of Laws'? Real Democracy is a 'quantification' of 'social institutions', 'economic institutions', and 'legal institutions'. Everybody counts.
