Every Governmental Top has a Bottom; and every Governmental Bottom has a Top.

Every Governmental Top has a Bottom and every Governmental Bottom has a Top. Thats the only manner in which a Governemntal Entity can exist: a Top that Governs or Rules and a Bottom that is Governed or Ruled. That seems to be the only solution to the problematic of thr One and the Many. But, even in a Democracy, the problem seems to be that some Democratic Tops dont seem to mind 'Ruling' and some Democratic Bottoms seem to be to 'eagar' to 'ascend to the Top' or become 'Agents of the Top' and to 'Rule'. Of course, in a Democracy the Top is voted-in by the Bottom so its Individuals at the Bottom voting in 'Leaders' that ascend to the Top to Govern and to protect the 'Democratic equilibrium' of 'Democracy'. But, even in a Democracy, some 'Agents' at the Top dont seem to be satisfied with 'Governing' and are to eager to 'Rule', or to benefit from their positions of Power. It would seem that in a Democracy the Bottom would be appreciative of its Freedom and Equality and would dedicate themselves to the business of 'Governing'. What happened? Where has the Political Organization of a 'Democracy' gone wrong? Maybe were asking the wrong question. Democracy hasn't gone wrong, its an Ideology, maybe the 'human Condition' has gone wrong. Where has the Human Condition gone wrong? Well, one of the first things that happened is that the 'People at the Bottom' formed into opposing 'Political Parties'. That already injects into Democracy, 'different concepts' about 'Government' and the 'relation' that must exist between the Top and the Bottom. Now we have the 'Republican Way' and the 'Democratic Way'. If they're truly both 'democratic' organizations, whats the problem? It seems to come down to the 'Individuals' who are involved in 'Politics'. Why is the 'Human Condition' so infatuated with Political Power?

Every Political Top must be Regulated and every Democratic Political Bottom must be Law Abiding,

Can a Democratic Political Top and a Democratic Political Bottom exist if they are not regulated? The fact that a Top is Institutional and has Institutional Power to Govern and the Bottom is the Governed and the Social has Freedom and Equality of the Indiviidual, renders the combination imposible unless both are regulated. A Top without regulation can become Autocratic. The Top must be regulated by a Democratic Constitution and the Bottom by Law. Both must follow the same Legal, Democratic, Ideology. A Top has Power, but its Democratic Power, as structured by a Democratic Constitution. A Bottom has Rights but its Law abiding and the result of an Equitable Balance of Power and a Democratic Bottom that must be Law abiding. But, the Law must be enforced, both at the Constitutional Top and the Law abiding Bottom and in accordance with democratic Principles. It must Govern Democratically and enact laws that enforce and protect the Freedom and Equality of the Individual at the Bottom. Otherwise, a Top with 'unadulterated' Power can usurp the Rights of Freedom and Equality. A Democratic Political Top with Power and a Democratic Political Bottom with Rights cannot exist just 'automatically' and without an Ideology. Each needs 'protections' and 'regulations'. But, a Top and a Bottom that is 'equitably Balanced' can exist within a Democratic Structure. 'Equities' and 'Balance' in a 'Democratic' Political Structure can exist if properly Instituted at the Top and the Bottom. Both the Top and the Bottom must retain and enforce a Democratic Ideology. Otherwise, a Top with Power can become Arbitrary, Selfish, and Despotic. In other words, it can become Autocratic. Hence, in a Democracy both the Top and the Bottom have to abide by Law and a Democratic Ideology. A Democratic Top Governs, and a Democratic Bottom must be Law abiding. Law must always Protect and Regulate the 'Freedom and Equality' of the 'Human Condition'.

When a Democratic Top of Power unravels, the Political Ideology is in Danger.

The unraveling of a Democratic Top endangers the Political Ideology of Democracy. Any other form of Government is not endangered. If an Autocracy or Plutocracy Unravels, it is merely replaced by another Autocrat or Billionaire. In such a case, the 'Form' of Government is not endangered. However, that will not work when the Ideology is Democratic. Why not? Because, a Democratic Form of Government that has a Political Ideology that Respects and Protects the Freedom and Equality of the Bottom and the Top has been voted-in by the Bottom and they both have a Democratic Ideology. A Democratic Top cannot function without a Democratic Bottom and a Democratic Bottom cannot continue to exist without a Democratic Top that protects and defends the Freedom and Equality of the Bottom. In such a case, the Bottom will lose its Freedom and Equality and the Top will not Govern with Freedom and Equality; it will Rule. The Democracy transforms into Plutocracy or Autocracy. The Bottom, in either case, is not Governed; it is Ruled. A Democratic bottom will not survive such a transition at the Top. The end of Democracy, at the Top, spells the end of Democracy at the Bottom. The Top becomes Rule and the Bottom become servants or victims of the Top. A Democracy must be protected at the Top and the Bottom. The Bottom is under Law and hence some sense of Order. But, the Top also needs Political Regulations that guarantees that the Ideology will remain Democratic and also that any Person exercising his/her Right to participate in Political Office will remain 'Democratic'. This last sentence does not refer to 'Political Parties'. 'Democratic Ideology' does not grant a 'Right' to govern 'Anti-Democratically'.
