A 'Top' that does not 'Govern' the 'General Welfare' of the 'Bottom' is not a 'Democratic Top'.

The most important 'Duty of the Top' of a 'Political Entity' is to 'Govern' the 'Welfare of the Bottom'. A 'Top' that does not dedicate itself to 'Governing', is not a 'Political Top' and a 'Top' that does not dedicate itself to 'Governing the General Welfare' is not a 'Democracy'. Of course, there are many different 'types' of Political Entities and 'each' has different views about what constitutes 'Governing'. But, all Political Tops exist 'only' as 'Forms' of 'Government'. A 'Political Top' has no other 'Reason for existing' and any 'Top' that purports to exist without a 'Peoples' at the 'Bottom' cannot, in reality, exist. Why? Because the 'Many' or the 'Peoples' at the 'Bottom' need 'Governing', or 'Someone', or 'Something', to 'Govern' them. It is they who create the 'Institution of the Top'. There are no 'Empty' 'Political Entities'. A 'Top' cannot exist without a 'Bottom'. A 'Bottom of the Many' cannot Govern itself. Hence every 'Political Entity' needs a 'Bottom' and every 'Bottom' needs a 'Top'. The 'Relation' that connects the 'Top' to the 'Bottom' also connects the 'Bottom and the Top'. Of course, some 'Forms of Government' have a 'Relation' that only connects from the 'Top to the Bottom'. That's not a Democracy. In a Democracy that same 'Political Relation' also connects the 'Bottom to the Top'.
