The 'Relation' of the Top to the Bottom does not always include the 'Many Peoples' at the Bottom.

The 'Relation' of the Top to the Bottom does not always 'include' the 'Many Peoples' at the Bottom. All Governments have a 'Top with Power' and a Bottom with the 'Many'. The Relation of the 'One' and the 'Many' exists in all 'Forms of Governments'. But, many distinctions arise when it comes to the Form of the 'Political Entity' and the 'Many Peoples' at the 'Bottom'. All 'Tops' have Power to Govern. One cannot have a 'Top' of Power without a 'Bottom' of 'Peoples'. But again, the Peoples are the 'Governed', and one must ask, do they have any 'Political Rights' and if so. from where do they get these Rights? Of course, a Government is an 'Institution' and not a 'Natural Phenomena' but, the 'Peoples', whether at the Top or the Bottom are equally 'Human'. As Human Beings, all are the 'same' and one 'cannot assume' that any 'One' Human is 'Greater' than the 'Other'. Again, Power to 'Rule' is 'different' from 'Power to Govern'. One important feature is that 'Power' is an 'Institutional Phenomena' and in the 'Democratic Form', the Top gets its Power to 'Govern' from the 'Peoples at the Bottom', through the 'Ballad Box'. The 'Institution of Government' is 'authorized to Govern' by the 'Constitution' and the 'Many Peoples' at the 'Bottom'. An Autocratic Form of Government does not Govern; it Rules. That means the 'Peoples' at the Bottom do not have any 'Political Rights' to participate in the act of 'Institutional Rule'. Of course, 'Democratic forms' can also 'fall' into that quandary. An Individual, 'unsophisticated and unqualified' in the workings of Government can be voted into Office and She/He may try to 'Rule' instead of 'Govern'. Simply from his lack of knowledge of Politics. This happens when an individual does not 'understand', or simply doesn't care, that 'Democratic Government' is about 'serving the Peoples' at the Bottom and not about the 'mere exercise' of 'Political Power'. Political Power does not exist except as an Institution and in the Democratic Form of Government, the 'Peoples' at the 'Bottom' transfers that 'Institutional Right' to Govern by means of the Ballad Box. Of course, many things could go wrong, but there should be some sort of qualifications to run for Public Office. When Trump was asked what qualified him to Run; he said "I build big Buildings". Governing establishes a 'Relation' between the Top and the Bottom and that Relation must be used to 'Serve the People'.
