Articulated Political Power Structures are necessary; but they should not encroach on the Human Condition.

Articulated Political Power Structures are necessary; but they should not encroach on the Human Condition. The Human Condition is Natural, while the Political Structures are Constructions. That's why we have 'Founding Fathers'. The Founding of America is not without its Problems, but the Structure or Constitution is a viable Instrument; sometimes referred too as a 'Living Constitution'. But, other Political Entities seem to construct a Top with Power, and at the same time, 'limit' or 'curtail' the 'importance' of the 'Human Condition'at the Bottom. The Human Condition, in a Democracy, is respected and it is understood that, if it was not for the Millions of Humans at the Bottom, there would be no need for a Political Top with Political Power. The Essence of Governments is always the 'People' in their 'Condition of Togetherness'. Sometimes the Problematic in Democracies are the People who do not respect the Government that protects their 'Equality and Freedom'. Without People; no Government, without Government no Political Equality and Freedom. A Social or gathering of the Many cannot Govern themselves without some Institution at the Top to Govern the Bottom. Of course, we call that 'Institution' the 'Government' or the 'Top'; the 'Source' of all 'Constructed Political Power'. The Bottom always remains in its 'Natural Condition' while it 'conforms' to the 'delineations' of a 'Particular Social'. The Bottom conforms to the Social 'structure' as it conforms to 'Law', which delineates the 'acceptable and the unacceptable'. but, The Government, once Elected, must be Democratic. Democracy can achieve its Goals with Political Strategies, but it cannot shut down the Government. That is not 'Political', nor 'Democratic'. Actually, that's 'Autocratic'. Democracies should 'not' be Ruled by 'Autocrats'. Somethings wrong. Where are the Real Politicians.

A Democratic Form of Government is 'Real". Many Other 'Forms' are 'Articulated Power Structures'.

Democracy is Real Government; Other Forms are 'Articulated Power Structures' that have been Institutionalized. The Latter 'reduces' the Human Condition to a 'condition of subservience'. In such cases the Government claims to Govern the People but, in reality, its the People who serve the Government. The Human Qualities of Equality and Freedom are misplaced. The People at the Bottom do not have Equality and Freedom. If they did, it would be the People who grant the Top the power it needs. The People in their condition of togetherness have the Power. In a Democracy the Government is "of the People", "by the People" and "for the People". Political Power originates at the Bottom and the Bottom grants Political power to Govern. Political Office has Power because the Bottom grants it to the Top so the Top can Govern. The Bottom of 'every Polity' is a 'Condition of Togetherness'. The Top of 'every Polity' is only a 'Political Position', or, a position in a 'constructed Political Condition'; to be sure, an 'essential Institution'. Hence the 'Top' of every Polity is essential, but it should respect the 'Equality and Freedom' of every 'Real Individual' at the 'Bottom'. The reason for that is that all Political Positions are occupied by 'Real Individuals' who come from the Bottom. Of course, not every Government is a Democracy. Nevertheless, a Form of Government should be 'structured' to 'house Political Power' at the Top but not to disregard the 'Equality and Freedom' of the 'Real Individual' at the Bottom. Recently, an interesting political statement about the Federal Reserve was made. I paraphrase, 'a powerful Golfer will not score if he doesn't know how to Putt'. Actually that applies to a 'Political Leader' who does not know how to 'Politic'. A Political problem requires a Political answer. But, if the Political Leader is an Economic thinkers, and Rich, he will not know how to give a 'Political Answer' because he is not a Politician versed in Political Structures. An Autocratic Thinker will think like an Autocrat, and does not care about 'Equality and Freedom' of the 'Real Individual'. An 'Autocratic mentality' is a 'One Person Government' and that 'Person considers himself a 'Superior Human being', and claims 'Personal Power', and 'Institutional Power' over 'all Individuals' within the Politys Jurisdiction. She or He is an 'Autocrat'; she or He 'Rules'. Governments Organize themselves any way the want, but they should not disregard the 'Equality' and 'Freedom' of the 'Human condition'. The Individual Right to have a 'Just Leader' who knows 'How' to Govern and who Governs every Individual in the 'Condition of Togetherness' and Respects the Equality and Freedom of the Real Individual is a 'Just Government'. Governments are 'Political Institutions', and hence only have the Power that they are 'Given'. 'Political Institutions' are not 'Natural Entities'. All Human Beings are creations of 'Nature'; hence, all Human Beings are the 'Same'. But, all 'Political Entities' are not 'Natural' but their construction should respect the Equality and Freedom of the human Condition. Democracy requires that. If that is not provided for, are we back to the Divine Right of Kings 'Form of Government'? Have we just given up 'Divinity' and now claim 'Personal Power'? No One Human Being has 'Real Personal Power'. He or She has 'Institutional Power' but only because its provided for, and only for a short period of Time. Where are the Real Politicians?

A Democratic Government is a Government "of the People", "by the People" and "for the People".

A Democratic Government is a Government "of the People", "by the People", and "for the People". That's why 'the People' or the 'Bottom' of the 'Polity' are very important. The essence and function of Government is 'to Govern'. It has no 'other' function. But, consider the 'importance' of People to a 'Government', particularly to a 'Democratic Form' of Government, and you begin to see the 'importance' of 'democracy' as a 'Manner' of Governing. The Bottom, or, The Many, or the 'Condition of Togetherness' which 'constitutes it', includes 'Millions of Individuals', or, to say it 'differently', includes the 'so-called', 'Many'. The different Forms of Government is an attempt to resolve the 'Ancient Problematic' of the 'One' and 'the Many', but they are all 'partial solutions'. I say 'partial' because that's not the 'end' of the Problem; that's the 'beginning'. Why? It seems that the Problematic is in creating a 'difference' between a 'Top' and a 'Bottom' and then questioning the 'competence', or 'authority' of the Top to Govern the Bottom, which happens to be the 'same' as the 'Millions of Individuals' at the Bottom. The Problematic creates a relation between 'One Individual' at the Top of 'Power'and the 'Many Individuals' at the Bottom, who are to be Governed. But, it seems that the Problem is to recognize that something is 'missing' or that something is 'needed' to justify 'Governing'. That missing link is that 'something must be created by Human Beings' to justify 'One' or 'Several Individuals' Governing the 'whole Bottom' of the Polity. Governments are 'not Natural', they are 'creations' by 'Unique Human Beings', or, if I may, the 'Unique Human Spirit'. Government is a man made 'Political Institution'. Government is not Natural, in the sense that its established by Nature. It must be 'Crafted' and as a 'construction' all 'Unique Human Characteristics'and all Political Factors' must be included. That means, the 'Uniqueness' of the 'Human Condition' and the 'Similarity and Equality' of each and every real Individual in the Polity. If all Individuals are the 'Same' and 'Unique', no 'One Individual' is 'Superior' to the 'Other'. Hence, no 'One' has a 'Natural Right' to 'Govern' and 'all Governments' should consider the 'Unique Human Condition' in their 'Construction' of a 'Polity'. That means all Political Entities should be Democratic. Where are the Real Politicians?

'All' Political Entities govern a 'Large Group of Human Beings'.

All Political Entities Govern a Large Group of Human Beings. The Political Entity must be 'organized and set-up' by an Individual, or a Group of Individuals. It cannot be set-up by a Computer or a 'previously organized' Corporation. 'Someone' must establish 'Government'. We can no longer rely on some form of 'Divine Intervention', although, that 'used to be' a 'Reality'. But, it didn't work. Hence, the necessity of establishing a Political Entity by an Individual, or a group of Individuals. Nature cannot establish Nationhood, Government, or any 'Collective sense' of 'controlling' a 'Collection of Humans'. Why not? The most simple way of approaching that issue is 'because each Real Individual is born into a World where 'Every-One' that is 'born' is the 'Same', or, 'Politically Equal'. If we look at 'Sameness' in Nature, no-one Individual can claim 'Superiority' of the 'Human Condition' or of having 'Power' to 'govern another'. In other words, Humans are the Same' and all are 'Equal', and 'Free' to 'Express', 'Implement', and 'Defend' that 'Equality'. One Individual could possible establish a 'Fair Constitution', but 'unlikely' because already He/She 'senses' the 'Feelings' of Superiority. Hence, the better approach is a 'Group of Individuals'. But, if the Group creates Political Offices that have 'Power' over Individuals that begins to smell like the 'Divine Right of Kings'. That Divine Right had to come up with the Argument that the King had 'Two Bodies', the 'Divine Body' and the 'Normal,' every-day Body. That didn't Fly. No, Political Offices have Duties to the Governed. Hence 'Political Office' has 'Knowledgeable Duties' to 'Govern'. Of course, the next issue is the 'Form of Government'. Well, there's Autocracy, Plutocracy, Oligarchy, or Democracy. If all the 'Same' Individuals must be 'Governed', it should be a 'Political Form' that Recognizes and Protects the 'Uniqueness' of the 'Individual Human Condition'. Hence, 'Political Power' of the Individual or, the 'Individuals' in the 'Condition of Togetherness', called 'The Many', is transferred to the Institutional Top, or to the 'One', by way of the 'Electoral Process', but only for a short period of Time. In this way, we can continue to learn about the Democratic Process and begin to see why a CEO or Businessman cannot Govern a Political Entity. A Political Entity should be established to Govern Equal and Free Individuals and not to make a Profit. Profits are for Businesses, Government is for Governing. Where are the Real Politicians?

All Political Entities have Power, but not every Political Entity has Real Individuals at the Bottom with Natural and Political Rights,.

In a Democracy, the Top has Political Power, but each and every Real Individual, at the Bottom, has Freedom and Equality. We often hear this description of democracy. So, how does the Bottom 'influence' the Top in a Democracy. If the Bottom does not have Power, how can it 'influence' the Top. Simply, each Real Individual at the Bottom counts as a 'Number'. Each Real Individual perceived as a Number is Natural and has the same Rights as every other Real Human being. Now, the Top is 'not Number' nor is it a 'Real Human Being'. Its just a Political Institution. The Top of every Political Entity has Power because it is a 'Political Institution'. Of course, the Top of Power is occupied by a Real Individual and we consider Him,Her as an Individual with Power, so long as, He or She, occupies the 'Institution of the Top'. But, Institutions of Power are 'human made' and not 'Natural Entities'. 'Humans', or, the Bottom, are 'Natural', but the Top is a Political Institution. Its not a Natural Entity, that's why every Top or Government can be different. For example, an Autocracy has Power at the Top also, but the Bottom is not considered 'Natural' in the 'Political Sense' that each 'Real Individual' has certain 'Rights' such as 'Freedom and Equality'. They are usually considered 'Subjects' like in the phrase, 'The Kings Subjects'. The Kings Subjects are always subject to the Power of the King. All Political Entities have Power at the Top. Autocracy, Oligarchy, Plutocracy, or Democracy. They all have Power. But, only Democracy has a Bottom that considers the Real Individuals at the Bottom as having 'Rights', by virtue of being Human and having 'Freedom and Equality'. That's why 'Governing' in a Democracy does not mean the Top can do whatever it wants. The Top must 'Respect', and 'Defend' the Rights of all Real Individuals at the Bottom. It must Govern in a Politically 'Just Manner'; alleviate the suffering of the Bottom, provide housing, medical attention, and socially organize the Individual's Freedom and Equality in a Politically 'Just Manner'. It has no 'Other' Political Functions. Politically, the Bottom has a Number that can be 'counted' and be provided for; there can be no Racial Discrimination; no economic discrimination; no 'class' discrimination; and all Real Human Beings must be 'counted' and included in the distribution of all Social 'Freedoms and Equalities'. A Political Institution has no 'Other' purpose for existing. Where are the Real Politicians?

In a Democracy, the Top has Institutional Power, but the Bottom has Many Individuals who have Freedom and Equality.

In a Democracy, the 'Top' has Institutional Power, but the 'Bottom' has 'Many Real Individuals' who have Freedom and Equality. There's that old dilemma of the One and the Many. Of course, the first thing that comes to Mind is why should any 'One' or, for that matter, 'Several Persons' have Power while the Bottom is 'Powerless'. The Individual at the Bottom has 'Freedom and Equality', but that is not 'Power'. Well, lets call them 'Rights'. But, why 'Rights', if not for the fact, that everyone is 'Equally Human', including those who serve at the 'Top'. If the Top is 'Superior' in some manner or another, the 'Rights' become 'unimportant'. Or we could say, the Top 'houses' a 'Superior Human Being' that is more Powerful than any 'Other Human Being'. We, some of us, know better than that. The Human Condition is Equally the same. If Equality 'reins' over the Human Condition, how are we to determine who will Govern the Bottom? Of course, 'Election' is a Possibility, hence electoral Politics. But, Elections, a process that appears relatively 'efficient' and 'innocent' was soon made 'Problematic'. Is there some 'different manner' of 'electing', 'selecting', or 'appointing', the Top. Of course, we now live in the Computer Age, so, is there some way to transfer the electoral process to the Computer? Or, can that also be Problematic? It soon appears that the 'old problem' of the 'One and the Many' that was, at that time, resolved by selecting the 'Strongest' or the 'Wisest', no longer 'Works' as the basis for selecting a Leader. But, now we have access to computers. So, can we vote with our computer? How can everyone have access to a computer? Can Electoral Politics become 'Computerized', or is that also Problematic. Well, consider how the Computer has 'torn down' 'National Boundaries' that allows communication between Individuals of different Nations. The computer has done more to 'Unify' the 'Human Condition' than all the Politicians rolled up into a 'Political Ball'. Do we build Walls or do we knock down Walls? At this point enters the Real Individual and the Morality of the Human Condition. All 'Real Individuals' are not 'Corporations', not 'Legal Fictions', and have 'Equal Rights' and 'Political Freedom'. Maybe the Computer can help us? Where are the 'Real' Politicians?

A 'Top', that begins to disintegrate Morally, can also 'effect' the 'Integrity of the International Sphere'.

The disintegrating 'Top' of any Nation will effect the International Sphere. If the Nation is a Democratic Nation, the International Sphere will begin to take notice. Especially, if the disintegration at the Top reflects a moral Issue. The reason being that a Democratic Nation that is disintegrating with respect to Moral Issues will not be expected to defend its own Moral Integrity, and hence will not be expected to defend the same or similar Moral Issues of Other Nations. When Morality flies out the window in a Democracy, the Human Condition will not be respected and hence the Freedom and Equality that should hold the Bottom together will weaken. Consequently, a Nation with 'weak' morals, at the Top, will create a 'weakness' and a 'disintegration' of the 'Integrity' of the 'International Bond'. This National 'lack of concern' for 'Human Life' will not sit well with Other Nations that are also Democracies that respect the 'Life' of the 'Human Condition'. Of course, Autocracies, Plutocracies and Oligarchies will not be expected to be too 'concerned' about a National Morality because the integrity of their Nation-Hood is organized differently. In their case, all the Political Power is at the Top of the Polity and not at the Bottom, hence Moral Issues that involve the Human Condition at the Bottom are out of the question. Of course, to them, the 'Bottom' is also important, but only with respect to 'Obedience and Allegiance' to the Top. Some Nations treat their Leaders like 'Gods'. Morality never enters the picture, only an 'enforced' National Obedience. That is not the case in a Democracy. In a Real Democracy, the 'Moral' and 'Knowledgeable Stature' of the Highest Office Holder becomes very important because the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'all Citizens' must also be 'respected' and 'protected'. Of course, on the International Sphere, the United Nations also has a 'Political Integrity' but that Integrity is a 'Political Integrity' of Powerful Nations. On the International Sphere, all Nations are 'Equally Powerful' and 'Independent' regardless their 'Geographical Size' and 'Population'. Hence, when a 'Democratic Nation' begins to 'reflect' a 'Moral laxity', the other 'Equal Nations' become 'concerned'. They become concerned because, suddenly, 'Equal Nations' become 'Morally lax' and begin to show 'little respect' for the 'Human Condition'. Politics is not a science, but 'Office Holders' should respect the 'Freedom and Equality' of the 'Human Condition'. After all, without 'Humans', there's 'no need' for 'Nations or Governments'. Without Nations or Governments, there's no need for a 'United Nations'.
