'Orderliness' must permeate every aspect of society, except for the Freedom and Equality of the Individual.

Orderliness is the key to Legality. It must permeate every aspect of the Social and the Economy, except, the Freedom and Equality of every Individual. Freedom and Equality in the Individual cannot be 'ordered'. The Freedom and the Equality of each Individual remains the essence of a Democratic society. That freedom and that Equality must not be interfered with. Why? because, an Individual must always be free to choose his 'activities' and 'behaviors', while existing within the 'condition of togetherness'. Another way of saying that, is, s/he must act within the confines of a democratic, structured, Legal System; or, the orderly arrangement of a democratic, 'condition of togetherness'. Democracy is more than just a belief system. Its an 'implemented orderliness'. Religion is also a belief system, but the goal of its way of life applies to another world. That's why it cannot work in this world. Religious beliefs cannot be 'imposed' on every Individual. Whereas, Freedom and Equality in a polity is 'imposed' and must be exercised by each and every individual within a 'condition of togetherness'. An Individual in a Democratic society must 'choose'. That choice must be in accordance with the Freedom and Equality of the guy next to you. If you step on his toes, s/he will not like it. Such is the methodic arrangement of a just legal system in a democratic, 'condition of togetherness'. Man is Free, is free to 'choose', and to act, but, s/he must respect the Freedom and Equality of the 'guy next to you'. Being 'Free and Equal' within a political entity is no 'small thing'. In a Democracy, all the Individuals at the Bottom of Government, have a tremendous duty.
