In a Democracy, Political Power at the Top cannot be Absolute Power over the Bottom.

In a Democracy, Political Power at the Top cannot be Absolute Power over the Bottom. To allow Absolute Power at the Top would be to allow a Top which can change its Democratic Character. The Power at the Top is a 'Transferred Power'; the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'each Individual' at the Bottom is transferred to the 'Institutional Top' for the sole purpose of 'Governing'. No Institution, 'per se', has 'Power'. It may have 'Authority' in certain 'Areas', but not Power. Certainly, Authority allows for certain types of 'Control' but, it does not allow for 'Power'. The 'Only' Institutional Instrument that can establish Power is the 'Constitution'. Freedom and Equality of each Individual is granted by a 'Democratic Constitution' and the 'Constitution' constitutes our 'Freedom and Equality'. It constitutes 'Us' and it can 'only Govern' us according to 'Law and Order'. It cannot Rule. Any 'Democracy' that purports to 'Rule' is 'not a Democracy'.
