Governments govern; Economies 'create' profits'. They must be kept separate.

Governments govern; economies make profits. When Democratic Government governs, they use a political Engine. A Democratic engine respects and defends the Freedom and Equality of each and every Individual that is being Governed. An Economy doesn't really care much for the People; it only cares about making a Profit. Hence, when a 'State', Nation, Country, or 'Political Entity' has been devastated by a Hurricane and needs help to rebuild, it is downright cruel to refer to 'funding' aid, as a basis for the 'help'. The only issue should be, 'how and how quickly' are we going to help. A Real Democratic Nation will apply 'democratic political principles' to help its members with the aid. No delays; no conditions. That is part of Rebuilding. The economy cannot Govern; that's a completely 'different Engine'. An Economic Engine can create tremendous profits but it can never Govern. Government runs on Political Principles of Freedom and Equality. Economies run on Profits and Monies. Why can't our Leaders recognize the difference. Government is about Governing with Freedom and Equality and structuring the Social democratically with Law and Order. No Nation can be governed with Economic Principles. Not even a Plutocracy. A Plutocracy is government by the Rich, but its still not the 'economy' that Governs. Of course, in a Plutocracy the rich will be taken care off; but its not the 'Economic Principles' that are Governing, its a Political Engine that governs. In most such cases, the government will be Autocratic or Oligarchic. Of course, all Nations need a successful economy; but we cannot make that a 'condition' for 'extending help' to a 'needy People' devastated by a Hurricane. That sounds too much like a CEO driving a Corporation not a Politician or 'Office Holder' driving a Nation with Political Principles. Economic Principles of Profits and Monies must be kept out of Democratic Government. Their independent functions must be respected and their 'proper engines' must be kept within the 'parameters' of each 'separate discipline'.

Governments are political Institutions with Power; People are Real and they 'run' for political Office.

Nations and Governments are absolutely 'necessary' political Institutions. They have, and they need, Political Power, to function. But, the Individuals they Govern are Real. When you weigh the difference between an Institution and a Real Human Being, the Institution has to take 'Second Place'. Human Beings are more important than Institutionalized political ideologies. Why? Simply because no Ideology, of whatever kind, ever created a Human Being; human beings create Ideologies. Humans were here before Political ideologies arrived. True, a Human Being is 'born into' a Political ideology, or a 'form of Government', but the 'human condition' never loses his/her 'humanity'. It is equally true that any 'form' of Government can be Democratic, if it so chooses. But, is that ever the case? Does an Autocratic Government respect, defend, and organizes itself, around the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'its People'? Does a Plutocratic Government do that, or, does an Oligarchic Government do that? In the interest of fairness, does a Democratic Government do that? Unfortunately, they do not! Why not? The age old saying "Power corrupts; absolute Power corrupts absolutely" is true. Also true, 'economic values' have taken over the 'political system'. How sad. The problems of Governments are due to the 'weakness' of the Human condition. All Heads of Governments are Human. All Governments have Power at the Top. All Politicians seek Political Power. Evidently, Human Beings do not 'understand political power'; and they cannot 'handle Political Power'. Can a 'Political Institution' be 'purged' of its 'economic infections'? How sad. Where are the "Real States-persons"?

The exercise of Power by Government must respect and protect the Freedom and Equality of the Individual.

Government, all forms of Government, have Power. There's no issue there. However the many Individuals that are governed are all Real. The Human condition is the same everywhere. Whether Democratic, Plutocratic, Oligarchic, or Dictatorial, the 'Real Individuals' that are governed are all Real Human Beings. ( I use the term "Real" when referencing a 'human being' because the Supreme Court, in its infinite wisdom, has ruled that a Corporation is a "Person" within the meaning of the 14th Amendment. Corporations are not 'Real Human Persons'. They may be 'Economic Beings', but that does not make them 'Real'; The characters in Alice in Wonderland are 'metaphorically Real' in relation to the 'Story-line' as a whole. The Individuals that are Governed in all forms of Government are Real. They may need Government, but that does not mean that they give up their authenticity. Its very simple. Governments are necessary, but they are 'Institutions', not 'Real Persons', in any sense of the Term. 'Essential' does not mean 'Real'. Individuals all live in a 'condition of togetherness', a 'condition' in which they do not give up their 'real Individuality'. Individuals cannot be 'quantified' into some 'collective condition' called 'Social', 'Society', 'Citizens', 'Network', or whatever Term you want, and then related to as a 'whole', as if, S/he is a "collective Entity" of some sort. The 'Human Being' is already in a 'condition of togetherness' in which S/he does not lose their 'Real Individuality' or their 'Realness'. 'People', in a 'condition of togetherness' are not 'Numbers', or some form of 'Quantification'; they are Real and in the 'condition of togetherness', they retain their 'Individual Freedom and Equality'. They cannot be reduced to some 'quantifiable' Computer Language that treats them as 'bits', or bytes. Governments have Power, but they cannot treat the 'human condition' as if it is 'not Real', and disregard their 'Freedom and Equality'. Its very Simple. Governing is not a 'Birthright', and the Power to Govern should not 'disrespect', nor 'abuse' the 'Freedom and Equality', that is the 'Birthright' of the Real Individuals. Governing is not easy, but Government is a Servant of the People.

All Nations; all Governments; all Political Entities; have a 'Political Form'.

All Nations; all Governments; all Political Entities; have a 'Political Form'. That 'Form' is a 'Triad'; a 'Triangle'; or a 'Trinity'. Call it what you wish, the 'reality' is always a 'Political Power' at the Top; 'a People' at the Bottom; and a 'Relation' that goes from the Top to the Bottom, which same Relation also runs from the Bottom to the Top. That Relation exercises Power from the Institutional Top to the Real Bottom and that same Relation should 'reflect' a 'Representation' from the 'Bottom to the Top'. The Top is always the governing Power; the Bottom is always the Real People who are Governed; and the 'Relation' is always Objective. A certain 'Objectivity' is essential in the Three Essential Branches of a Democratic 'Governmental Institution'. However, therein lies a Problematic of Democratic Politics. The Branch, in a Democracy, that requires absolute Objectivity is the Third branch, or the Judicial Branch. The 'Interpretive Practices' of the Judicial Branch should be Objective and in keeping with the Structure of the Constitution and the 'Equality and Freedom' of its 'Real People'. The Constitution 'constitutes' us. Its a Constitution of Laws. The Individuals at the Bottom must obey the Laws; the Executive Branch must Govern Lawfully; and the Judicial Branch must resolve issues with respect to Legal Interpretation. That's where Interpretive Practices kicks-in. The Problematic in 'Interpretive Practices' is that the Justices, who must be Objective, are already split into two different Political Parties. Of course, they are always asked if they will follow the Constitution and they always state that they will, but, is that the Case? One Party 'leans' in favor of Corporations; the Other, in favor of 'the People'; and never shall the twain meet. Neither Party has 'seen fit' to do away with Citizens United. Where's the Objectivity? The Economy has taken over Politics and hence, Government. We live in 'Legal Fictions'; 'Corporations', 'Money', and Alice in Wonderland. Where are the Statesmen?

All Forms of Government can be evaluated from the perspective of a 'Triadic Form'.

All Governments can be evaluated from an 'Institutional Form' that is Triadic in nature. The Top of all Governments have Institutional Power; the Bottom of all Governments are all the 'Peoples' subject to 'being Governed'; the Relation between the Top and the Bottom should provide a 'Political Means' by which the Peoples being Governed are Represented. There is no other purpose for the existence of a Government. We return to our Thought Experiment, " one 'sole Individual' living on an Island, all by Him/Her-self, does not need an 'Institution of Government'. However, if there are thousands or Millions of People living along-side each Other; in a 'condition of togetherness', He/She will need Government. Since most Individuals are born within an 'established Nation or Government', they will automatically be part of the 'Bottom'. In a Democracy the 'Peoples' elect 'Representatives' who will be voted on, and who will ascend to the pinnacles of Political Power. In 'other forms' of Government, the Top always Governs the Bottom. The Bottom always has Millions of people living in a 'condition of togetherness'. The question, then becomes, "What are the duties or obligations that all Governments have to the People they Rule? Since Governments depend for their 'Existence' on the Peoples they Rule, Governments must Govern in some fair and equitable manner. That issue raises the question of what form should a Governing Political entity take? Of course, the Democratic Form is the 'most equitable' because it covers 'all the bases'; i.e. it covers the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial branches. In other words, it is Triadic in nature. It is not perfect, but its Functional. A Three branch Government can be carefully examined to determine which of the Three Branches is dis-functional. Once the dis-function is located, it must be 'corrected'. We must remember every Top has a Bottom and every Bottom has a Top. Nationhood and Government is a 'Polity of Power'. But, the Bottom is a 'condition of togetherness', where each and every 'Real Individual' lives in 'Equality and Freedom'. All Nations and Governments are Triadic in nature. They all have 'a People'. Their people live in 'Equality and Freedom'.

A Triadic or Three Branch Government generates and protects Democracy.

A Triadic or Three Branch form of Government protects Democracy; but, each of the Branches must properly execute its respective function. A Democracy is about the 'Peoples'. Without 'Peoples' there can be no Democracy; in fact, without People, no Form of Government would exist. An Autocracy cannot exist without People to 'Govern'. No matter the form of Government, People, Real Individuals, are essential to that Form of Government. Dictatorships, Autocracies, Kingdoms, or any Other Form of Government, needs People, lots of People. Without 'Peoples' who are they going to 'Rule'? The basic requirement for a 'Form of Government', any Form of Government, is always the 'Peoples'. Hence the importance of the People in any Form of Government. Now, the important question becomes "what form should the Governing Institution assume"? Well, since Governing is about 'Governing Peoples', the form of Government should be 'Democratic in Nature'; it should be a Government, "of The People", "by the People" and the most important part, "for the people". This last requirement is what makes a Democracy a 'Real Democracy'. 'Every Form' of Government has Institutional Power at the Top. If 'a Form of Government' is merely exercising 'Institutional Power', its not even a Government. Its 'Force', 'Pure Force', 'Institutionalized Power'. Institutionalized Power is impossible without 'Peoples'. Some Individual or Individuals assume the 'Office', or 'Institutional Position', of Power, and completely forgets 'from where' and 'from Who' S/He gets the Power. S/He gets 'Institutional Power' from the 'many Peoples' of that Nation. Without a 'Peoples' there cannot be a Nation; and without a Nation, there cannot be Institutional Power. 'Political Power' is an Institutional Phenomena, not a natural Phenomena. All Political Power emanates from a 'People' and all Real Individuals living in a 'condition of togetherness' are Equal and Free. As such, they deserve to live in a Democracy.
