A 'concept' of Statehood is composed, by each and every 'Real Individual' at the Bottom of Government.

The concept of Statehood, is composed by each and every Real Individual, at the Bottom of Government. Its needless to add that the State cannot exist without its People. A State or a Government entity needs someone to govern; or its very existence is compromised. States cannot exist in a vacuum. States cannot exist without people, but People can exist without States. Hence, the implication is that the State is a necessary creation by the same People who 'seek' 'Statehood', and 'wish' to be governed. States are important and States are essential for the sole purpose of governing. If a State is said to exist, but does not govern, it can be said, that particular State is not an actual State. Why? The reason being that, the sole reason for a State to exist is to govern. The political issue becomes, "is it possible for non-democratic States to exist? Does the establishment of any type of government, meet the requirements of a 'properly established Top of Government', or is that, just another 'democratic delusion'? Does any Government, even the non-democratic ones, still meet the requirements of a necessary government for the Many. Obviously, the need for Government arises from the fact that the One is essential to Govern the Many. Hence, the problematic of the One and the Many is very 'abstract'. The 'abstract answer' is, every Individual, who lives in a 'condition of togetherness' needs Government. The less abstract, more practical answer, is that the Top of government gets its power to govern from the Bottom i.e., from the very people who will constitute the 'Governed'. Hence, every Form of Government, is essential; but, nevertheless, Democracy is the best form, and the more streamlined, and if properly 'conducted', can avoid many 'social problems'. The other forms, create dichotomies that cannot be resolved, except by Revolutions.
