The necessity of Democratic Government should be obvious to everyone.

The 'necessity' of Government should be obvious to everyone. The only issue to be asked is, "what type of Government"? That answer should also be obvious. No one Individual has the power or authority to 'govern' another. One Individual living alone on an Island does not need the Institution of Government. If the population on the Island increases to thousands or millions, then there had better be a Government, or all would be chaos. Then the issue of 'what kind of Government' arises, and also the issue of what "type" would be acceptable to the 'condition of togetherness'. In a 'condition of togetherness'; the Individual never loses his 'Individual Freedom' and 'Individual Equality' as a living Human Being. That 'Term'( 'condition of togetherness') differs from terms like "the Social" or "Society"; which terms have become 'too abstract' and, whether intentionally or not, always tend to leave out certain "races", "colors" or "Creeds". The 'condition of togetherness', instead 'clarifies' the 'uniqueness' and the 'Equality' of all living human beings. Government becomes necessary; but only a Government that 'protects and defends' the 'Freedom and Equality' of all its Citizens. An Individual citizen is Free and Equal and each Individual must have the 'authority' to participate in the 'organization' and 'structuring', if she or he wishes, of the Institution called 'Government'. Only a Democratic form of Government has the 'authority' and 'permission' from 'its People'; to Govern its particular 'condition of togetherness'. That 'form' of Government must be founded on the provisions set forth in the Constitution of the United states.
