If the 'Business Corporation' is a 'Person', why isn't it a 'Democratic Person'?

If the 'Business Corporation' is a 'Constitutional Person', why isn't it a 'Democratic Person'? Its considered a 'Legal Fiction' and apparently has the advantage of being protected by the 'Constitution', as a 'Person', so why not make it a 'Democratic Person'. After all, Real Persons are expected to be 'Law Abiding' and 'act and behave' in a 'Democratic manner'; so, if the Courts create a 'Legal Fiction' and protects it with the 'Constitution', why not create 'one' that also has 'Constitutional Duties' or, 'Democratic values'? How can the Courts declare a 'Legal Fiction' to be a 'Person in contemplation of Law' and not address the issue of 'a Person' that exists in a 'Democracy'? 'A Person' 'that' is entitled to 'Protection'; and as having 'Democratic Duties' like all other 'Real Persons'. The Business Corporation is a Legal Fiction; it was created to function in the Economy and as such its a 'Money Making machine' and exists for the 'Sole Purpose' described in its 'Purpose Clause'. It has no other reason to exist. The Social Problem created is that as a Money Making Machine, it also creates an 'Economic imbalance' between 'it' and 'Real Persons' in the 'Social'; and 'that' also establishes 'Economic Classes' in the Social. So, why not make it 'More Democratic' and 'give it' some 'Democratic Duties'. Its 'unequal stature' and 'function' among 'Real Human Persons' in the 'Social' is obvious; so, why not require that every Business Corporation have a 'Democratic Department', that makes 'Contributions', both 'Social and Economic', towards 'Democracy'.

The 'Bottom' is the 'most important aspect' of any 'Political Entity'.

The 'Bottom' is the 'most important aspect' of any 'Political Entity'. The 'simple fact' that the 'Bottom' is the 'Many' and the 'Many is a 'Multitude' of 'Real Individuals' demonstrates that the 'Structure and Form' of 'Government' is properly constituted. The Top is always One or a Few, but in no case is it 'Superior' to a 'Multitude'. The 'Top' is always 'Institutional' and hence, in all cases, 'Human Made'. The 'last form' of Government that purportedly attributed a source of 'Power to Govern' was the 'Divine Right of Kings'. That no longer works. Power is 'Institutional' and it 'arises' from the 'Bottom'. 'Every Top' is composed of 'Real Individuals' that 'come from the Bottom'. No 'Human Being' at the 'Bottom' is 'born Superior' to 'Another'. All 'Human Beings' are 'Human Beings' period. 'Superiority' of a 'Political Position' flows from the 'Institutional Framework' for 'Governing' a 'Triadic Form of Government'; a 'Form' with 'Power at the Top' and the 'Many Peoples at the Bottom'. 'Government' cannot be 'Otherwise'. The 'Bottom' is the most important aspect of any 'form of Government' because the Bottom is 'constituted' of a 'Multiplicity of 'Human Beings' and all Human Beings are 'Free and Equal'. 'Freedom and Equality' at the Bottom of a 'Political Entity' establishes 'Law and Order' to 'everyday existence'. 'Law' are the 'Rules' of 'Action and Interactions' among the People and 'Order' is the 'end result'.

The delegation of 'Power' from the 'Top to the Bottom' is to enforce 'Law' and keep 'Order'.

The delegation of 'Power' from the 'Top to the Bottom' is to enforce 'Law' and keep 'Order'. That delegation is for 'only one purpose' and for a 'sole function'. If Law and Order at the Bottom were not required, there would be 'no reason' for the existence of 'Police Departments'. 'Policing Activity' occurs all the way 'Down' and 'into' the 'Condition of Togetherness' at the 'Bottom'. The 'Bottom' must follow 'Law' and 'keep Order' and the Top must 'delegate Power' to do so. But, the Top of Power must also 'Relate' to the Bottom in a 'Democratic Manner'. It cannot be 'arbitrary' and 'violate' the 'Relation' which connects the 'top to the Bottom'. The 'Top' must be more careful then the 'Bottom', in the Daily exercise of its Power, because the Top 'IS POWER'. Hence, it has to remain 'Democratic'. Any 'modification' in the exercise of its 'Power' has to be interpreted as an attempt to 'change' its 'Political Ideology', and a 'failure' to 'Govern'. The Bottom has no Power, but the 'Democratic existence' of the Bottom is 'lived in Freedom and Equality', hence encompasses a 'wider scale'. An 'Individual' can pretty much do as She/he pleases, but that must 'be kept' within the confines of the "Lawful and the Orderly". Violate Law, 'pay the price'; violate order, 'Examine the System'. Something is Wrong. Some 'Violations of Order' are justified in a System where the 'Top' is 'not Governing' and is 'attempting' to 'change' the 'Democratic Way of Life'.

One of the the 'biggest Problems' in a 'Democracy' is that 'Ancient Problematic' of the 'One' and the 'Many'.

One of The biggest 'Problems in a Democracy' is that 'old ancient Problematic' of the 'One' and the 'Many'. Why is that still a Problem? Because it establishes the 'Basics' of a 'Relation' between a Top of 'Power' and the Bottom of a 'Multiplicity of Real Individuals'. The Top is 'One', or 'One and a Few'. The 'One and a Few' means the 'Top of Power' and the 'Agencies' for the 'Administration' of the 'Power Relation'. The Bottom is 'Millions of Human Beings'; each 'Individual' being 'Free and Equal' in the 'Social'. The 'Many' must be 'Governed Democratically' i.e. while always keeping in mind the 'Freedom and Equality' the Individual is entitled too. That requires a 'Democratic Government' that establishes 'Agencies' for the 'Administration' of 'Governance'. That means 'each Agency' has a particular function but it also means 'someone' is in charge of the Agency and it must also be 'Policed'. Generally speaking, the 'Top' can insure that its Agencies are being operated 'Democratically'. Of course, the Bottom must also be Policed to insure that everyone's 'Freedom and Equality' and 'Property' are being protected. A 'Police Department' becomes necessary. A Police Department is 'absolutely necessary', but it can easily 'run amok'. Policemen maintain Law and Order in the Social and they are 'delegated' the 'Power' to do it. The Police Agency 'functions' daily in the 'midst' of the 'Many'. They are 'figures of Authority'. Hence, the necessity for 'elite qualifications' and 'elite training' of all 'Law enforcement' Agencies. 'Law enforcement' cannot be abused.

A Democracy must have the 'Right Value System' at the Bottom and theTop.

A Democracy must have the 'Right Value System' at the 'Bottom' and the 'Top'. Otherwise, it cannot survive. The Bottom is peopled with a Multiplicity of Individuals who must accept the 'Social' and 'Political Values' of 'Freedom and Equality'. Every Individual must 'Accept and Practice' these 'Social Values'. If not, the danger of 'Racial Discrimination' arises; the danger of 'economic Discrimination'; and the danger of 'Class Discrimination'. The end result of failing to practice these Social Values; results in a 'Condition of Togetherness' where 'White is Superior'; the 'Rich are Superior'; or, the 'Haves' are 'superior' and the 'Have-nots' are discriminated against. Of course, not every 'Real Individual' feels this way; but, it creates a 'Sensitive Bottom' that can 'explode any Minute'. Once it explodes it Takes an 'Intelligent Leader at the Top' to resolve the issues. 'Weaknesses' must be Found, and 'Corrected'. 'Racial Discrimination' must be eliminated, it cannot exist; a 'Social' build on purely Economic values', ( more and more of the same; to wit; Money and Possessions) should not exist; 'Social Classes' cannot exist. Every Person is 'Human'; there are no 'Superior Races'; and an 'Economy and Social' build on 'Purely Economic Principles' is wrong; Why? Because the 'Profits' that 'drive' an Economy 'cannot drive' a 'Social' of 'Real Human Beings' that live in 'Freedom and Equality'. Freedom and Equality is the 'cement' that 'Socially Integrates' the' 'Condition of Togetherness'.

In a Democracy, when a 'Top with Power' loses control of the 'Bottom'; something is wrong.

In a Democracy, when a Top with Power no longer 'controls' the 'Bottom'; something is wrong. Of course, there's a 'Right way' to 'see' that and a 'wrong way'. The wrong way is when the Top uses 'Arbitrary Power','legal and Illegal', to quell the disturbance. That's 'antagonistic' and creates a worse situation. The Right Way is when the Top makes the 'corrections' connected with the disturbance. In a Democracy such a disturbance usually alludes to some 'Undemocratic activity' or 'occurrence' that has taken place within the 'Social' and creates the 'Social Unrest'. The Proper response by the Top is to 'explain' or 'correct' the so-called 'undemocratic activity'. Failing that, any move by the Top to 'quell' the disturbance by 'force' is 'Undemocratic' and a 'misuse of Power'. A 'Problem' at the 'Bottom of a Democracy' is not 'addressed' and 'quelled' with 'Autocratic Power'. Threats to use the 'Military Power' of the State, in such cases, is 'Autocratic'. The 'Individuals' in the 'Military' fight their own 'Relatives' in the 'Social'. They become the 'enforcers' of the 'Unrest'; Brother against Brother; Sister against Sister. That doesn't make sense. An 'Intelligent Democratic Top' knows, or should know, what to do and must attempt to 'quell' the disturbance by 'Democratic Means'. Otherwise the only solution is to 'replace the Individual' at the 'Top'.

The term 'Hyper Reality' refers to the 'Surrounding Conditions' housing ' Real Individuals'.

The term 'Hyper Reality' refers to the 'Surrounding Conditions' housing 'Real Individuals'. Certainly, Modern, Technological, and 'Computational' advances in the 'Social' are to be encouraged and adopted. However, the Human Condition is the Human Condition. Humans are born; they are the results of an ever growing Humanity. There are no 'Perfections' nor 'imperfections' in the Human Condition. A Human is born in a 'Location' and a 'Time' not of his/her choosing; that's why the Bottom of every Polity should understand that every 'Real Individual' is Naturally Born Free and Equal and the 'Political Entity' should also understand that she/he should be 'Institutionally' 'Free and Equal'. Of course, each Polity is different. My point is not the differences in the Political Entities, but the necessity for Democracies to understand and correct the unacknowledged 'Freedom and Equality' of 'all Its Citizens'. There are no Superior Races; everyone is 'Equal' and 'Free'. 'Social differences' do not 'modify' the 'Human Condition'; neither does the 'accident' of Birth. Humanity is One, and the 'accident of birth, does not effect the Humanity of the 'Human Condition'. Its a time for 'Leadership'. 'Leaders' must insist on the 'elimination' of 'Racial Prejudice'. Failing that, how can we claim to be 'Democratic'? The 'Truth' is we can't. Democracy must be 'Restored' and in a 'Democracy' there are 'many Leaders'; some in the 'Social', some in the 'Corporate World', some in the 'Military'; and 'every Leader' must insist that 'Democracy' has to prevail. We cannot destroy the 'Democratic Spirit'.
