A Government that purports to govern People, must be Triadic.

Any Government that purports to govern 'a People', must be Triadic. Why is that? because the triadic form allows for the interaction of all levels of the governing process. The Top must interact with the Bottom and the sides must 'interpret' that interaction. The Top can be called the "Executive"; the Bottom can be called, "the People" or the "Legislative", and the sides, can be called the Third branch, or the Judiciary. Of course, all Three Branches of Government must function properly. Any 'One' particular Branch, can 'upset the cart' or cause it not to function smoothly. For example; the Executive can abuse its political power; or the Legislative can abuse its 'law making' power, or the Judicial can abuse its 'interpretive function', or abuse its 'interpretive practices' by unjustly adhering to Party Ideology. All Branches are Representative in nature and hence exist only for the purpose of Representing all the People, at the Bottom, as well as the Top. The Executive can abuse its power, by 'causing a War'; 'leading' the Country, 'needlessly', into War; or being 'uninformed' about the International situation, which leads to War. The Legislature can get so involved in the economic situation, or 'money', that it does not consider the 'welfare of the people', and hence is not truly 'representative' in nature. The Judiciary can misuse its interpretive practices, for 'political', or 'Party ideology', purposes, instead of, Objectively interpreting the Constitution. So, the basic organization of Government into Three Branches, is only the 'beginning' of a viable Democracy. But,a Three Branch Government, can be caused to function properly by the very People who constitute it. A Good Government must function representatively, smoothly, and Democratically.
