Democracy has 'Power at the Top'; like any 'Other Form' of 'Governemnt'.

'Democracy', as a Political Entity, has 'Power at the Top'; just like any 'Other Form' of 'Government'. A 'Form of Government' is a 'Political Institution' and consequently, one must ask, "from where does a 'Form of Government' get its Power? All 'Political Entities', Large or Small, are 'Created or established' 'Political Institutions'. Early Tribes, Groupings, etc. usually had 'Leaders', 'Chiefs', who were 'selected' from the 'Wisest', 'Strongest', 'Fastest', or the 'Most Cruel'. Some just 'took' the Position by 'Force' and some 'Inherited it' by being a 'member' of a 'Powerful Family'. Later came the 'Divine Right of Kings' which 'attributed' their 'Right' to Rule to the 'Divinity'. All these Forms are now 'Obsolete' except, and just in case, there still exists, a few 'Isolated Groupings'. 'Every Grouping' had its manner of deciding who would Lead them. Of Course, today, every 'Government' has a 'Top of Power' and a 'Bottom of People'. That was the source of the so-called 'dilemma' of the 'One and the Many', or 'How to Organize an 'Institutional Political Entity' with a 'Top with Political Power' and a Bottom with the 'Many' Human Individuals. If 'Human Individuals' are 'Free' and Equal', as in a Democracy, 'Law and Order' must exist. If 'Law and Order' exists, 'The Many' need to be Governed. But, 'Governing' is different from 'Ruling', hence, the 'basic difference' in the 'Forms' of Autocracies, Plutocracies, Oligarchies, and Democracies. But, 'Democracy' is the only Form that emphasizes the importance of the 'Many People' at the 'Bottom'. The Essence of Democracy are the 'Many Peoples' at the 'Bottom' and the 'Top of Power' is there to 'Serve the General Welfare'.
