The terms "Society" and 'Social' must be distinguished from "the condition of togetherness".

The terms "Society" and the term "Social" must be distinguished from the words " the condition of togetherness". The reason being that the first two terms are very high level abstractions and in referring to 'real' Individuals 'living' in the 'social', cannot afford to lose their 'precision'. The term "condition of togetherness' retains the individual existence of each and every Individual in the 'condition' described as "togetherness". The term 'togetherness', as a term of 'collection' cannot exist unless their is 'someone else' that also 'exists' alongside the 'Others'. In other words the term is 'inclusive' and each Individual can be 'counted',i.e., 'included' or 'excluded' and hence that allows for 'accountability'in Government. The other two terms are 'too abstract' and can be used to 'exclude'. Don't get me wrong, its possible to use the terms ,but not with the same 'precision'. Hence, the 'caution' in the use of the terms. Of course, in the 'relation' between the Top and the Bottom of Government, the Top relates to the Bottom of Government, and the Top must Govern the Bottom and must 'include' each and every 'real' Individual in the 'Social'. No 'real' Individual can be excluded. Government must Govern and that means it must pass Laws which provide Order, and it must 'care and provide' for the 'Social and the General Welfare of its Citizens. Government is a Political Institution and its sole function is to Govern. A Government is not a 'referee'; nor, does it just 'stand-by' while the 'Social deconstructs'; it must 'Govern' and it must 'Govern' democratically. There is no other function for Government. If Government 'fails', it must be replaced.
