Law is essential to every Political entity.

Law is essential to every Political entity. Regardless, the nature of the entity, Law becomes essential. Why?, because every political entity 'houses' the Many, or many human individuals. To be sure, all human interactions, whether between Individuals, or between Nations, must be 'governed'. That's why we need Nations,( to govern the individual) as well as, a "United Nations"(to govern the separate Nations). Both, Nations and a United Nations, are Political Entities, and as such, houses Many Individuals, all of whom need to be Governed. But, Law is more essential in a Democracy, than an Autocracy. Of course, the reason is obvious. The only Law in an Autocracy, is that of the Autocrat. In a Democracy, the Law must be arranged in such form as to apply to each and every Individual in an Equal manner. Look, Law is just Order, and Order is essential to the 'condition of togetherness' of the People at the Bottom of Democratic Government. But, that is not the end of the story. The Order 'required' is the 'Free and Equal' order of 'each and every' Individual at the Bottom of Government. Someone has to legislate Law, someone has to enforce Law, and someone has to adjudicate Law. That's why, the Triadic Form is the only form for a Democracy. If no-one Legislates the 'right kind' of Law, democracy will not work; if no-one enforces 'all' of the right-kind of law, democracy will not work; If the Supreme Court does not 'adjudicate' the Law according to Constitutional Values of the Top, as well as Constitutional Values, of the Bottom, democracy will not work. So, it becomes obvious, that some Democracies enforce the Law, in a 'preferential' manner. It is also obvious, that the 'interpretive practices' of the Supreme Court, are 'divided' by party-loyalty, and hence do not serve an 'integrated' unity, of Free and Equal, that should characterize the Bottom of Democratic Government. In other words, being Democratic is not the political end of things; we have to work at it on a daily basis. Supreme Court Justices who assert their power, based on a divided political ideology, are no different than Policemen who assert their 'power' of enforcement, with clubs, guns, gases, and tanks. Neither is Democratic.
