The 'One' and it's 'Creations' are 'Institutional'; the 'Many' are 'Real Human Persons'.

The 'One' is Institutional; the 'Many' are 'Real Human Persons'. An 'Institution' is a 'Human Creation', its not anything 'Real', in the same sense, as a 'Human being' is 'Real'. A Human Being is a 'Person'. All 'Real Persons' are 'Real Human Beings'. That was always the case until the Supreme Court held that a 'Business Corporation' was a 'Person' in 'Contemplation of Law'. If the Law is going to assume and grant 'Person-hood' to a Fictional Entity, what other attributes does this 'Fictional Person' have? Does it have the same 'Rights' as a 'Real Person' and where do we draw the line between a 'Legal Fiction' and a 'Real Person'. How do we resolve the issue that if a Real Human being violates a Law, he can be put 'in Prison' and if a Corporation violates the same Law, 'It' cannot be put in Prison. Of course, all these issues and questions can be called academic, but remember we are called a 'Corporate Society' and keep in mind that the major cause of 'Economic Imbalances' is the 'Business Corporation'. We have created a 'Legal Fiction' that creates 'Haves' and 'Have-nots'; is the cause of economic imbalances; and no where in their By-Laws does it say that they are 'Democratic' in nature. The 'Legal Fiction' is truly a 'Fiction' and now its been made into a 'Person' in Contemplation of Law and its 'main' and 'sole' function is 'Autocratic'; not 'Democratic'. It 'must' make a Profit or be Dissolved and if it makes a Huge Profit, it creates 'Economic Imbalances'. Its sole 'Function' is 'Autocratic' and its 'Sole Result' is 'Plutocratic'; and 'Plutocracy' is 'Government by the Rich'; and Government by the Rich is 'NOT' a 'Fiction', its a 'Disaster'.

Posing the Governmental Problematic as the One and the Many creates many problems.

Posing the Governmental Problemantic as the 'One and the Many' creates many Political Problems. The One is a fixed Point and the 'Many' are 'all' Many fixed Points. The reason for that is that the Many are all Real Individuals and Real Individuals are all, each and everyone, 'Human existents'; and 'Every' Human Being is changeable. 'Fixidity' is difficult to 'move' or to Change. Whats fixed is fixed, but Real Unique Individuals are separate 'Existents' and 'Unique' and 'Self-Modifiables'. Characterising the Bottom as a 'Problematic' includes all the 'Individuals' as the 'Many' and as a 'Quantifiable concept'. That 'fixes' the 'Top' and 'weakens' the 'Bottom'. In Autocracy, its different, the Top is Power and the Bottom is not. Hence, the One will always be 'stronger', fixed, and the Bottom will remain as 'Many' but without 'Freedom and Equality', and hence, the Top has Absolute power over the Many. In Democracy the 'Top' comes from the 'Bottom' and the Top also has 'Power', but the 'Bottom', being less Quantifiable, has 'Freedom and Equality' and also has more 'Political-Mobility'. This manner of looking at the 'One and the Many' has more 'Variables' and less Quantification. But, the Bottom must 'seriously utilize' their 'Political Mobility' to achieve a 'Political Order' that is 'Constitutional'. The Constitution 'describes and defines' the 'Political Structure' and the 'Political Order' that distributes 'Power at the Top' and 'Freedom and Equality', or 'Political Rights' at the 'Bottom'. Democracy is a 'Functional concept' and hence there is continuous 'Interaction' between Top and Bottom. Democracy is a 'Living Concept' that is never 'Completely Quantified' and never ceases to 'Evolve and Develope'. Democracy is a 'Living Concept' with a 'unique Relation' between the Top and the Bottom. That Relation 'will always exist'. The Top will never stop 'Governing' and the 'Botttom' will never stop 'Questioning' the 'Effectiveness of their Democracy'.

The Huge Problematic with an 'Equilibrated Polity' is the 'Unified Top' and the 'Distributed Bottom'.

The Huge Problematic with an 'Equilibrated Polity' is the 'Unified Top' and the 'Distributed Bottom'. In the Divine Right of Kings the problem was merely to determine who was the 'King' or 'Queen'. In Autocracy, the problem is who is the 'Autocrat'; in Plutocracy, who is the 'Richest'; and in 'Oligarcy' who are my 'Friends'. Once the Top of Power is determined, the 'Bottom'; the 'Social' becomes whatever the Top decides or the type of 'Rule'. There is no question of 'who Rules' and 'who' and 'how' the 'Bottom Lives'. 'Rule' is 'Unified' and 'Living is Distributed'. The Bottom is at the Mercy of the Top. But; in a Democracy, the 'Top' is held together by a 'Written Constitution', subject to 'Amendments' and to a 'Constitutional Law'. Its very important to 'understand' that the Top 'does not rule'; it 'Governs' and it Governs according to the 'Political Formulations in the Constitution'. The Constitution 'qualifies' the excercize of 'Power' by the 'TOP'. Not only that, it also 'Describes', 'Defines', and 'Mandates' the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'all the Individuals' at the Bottom. Democracy 'defines' and 'describes' the 'Unified top of Power' and also the 'Distributed Rights' of 'Freedom and Equality' of the Many at the bottom. It could be said, Democracy diffuses and defines the 'Unity' of the Top of Power and 'consolidates' the Freedom and Equality of the Individual at the Bottom. Hence, many of the Problems of the 'One' and the 'Many' go away. But, if the 'Relation' is properly 'Described' and 'Defined'; it allows each Part of Government to function in a 'Balanced' manner. The Top still has Power, but its well described and defined. Other 'Forms of Governemnt' are free to determine how they will 'Govern' or 'Rule'.

The 'One' at the 'Top' and the 'Many' at the 'Bottom' need each other.

The 'One' at the 'Top' and the 'Many' at the 'Bottom' need each other. A Democratic Form of Government is arranged in such manner as to allow for the 'working together' of the 'Opposition' and the 'Mutual Functioning' of the 'One and the Many'. The 'Mutual Functioning' of the 'Two' is controled by a 'Written Constitution'. No Constitution is 'Perfect' and it must allow for 'Changes' and 'Amendments'. An Autocratic Form of governemnt would work perfectly if the Top was Perfect. That is seldom, if ever, the case. Given a Perfect Top the Bottom can only expect perfection. That is never the Case. 'All Political Tops' have 'Power' and 'Power', unfortunately, 'corrupts'. There are different Forms of Tops. There are 'Autocracys'; there are 'Plutocracys', there are 'Oligarchys', and there are 'Democracys'. But, the Democracy is the only form where the Constitution 'Recognizes and Protects' the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'each' and 'every' Individual at the Bottom. Obviously, the Non-Democratic Forms could treat the Individual as a 'Free and Equal Individual', but, its not very likely. There is always a 'Tension' between a 'Top with Power' and a 'Bottom' with a 'Multiplicity of Individuals'. The 'Divine Right of Kings', started off with the 'Help' of the 'Diety' but it didnt last long and is no Longer Functional. All Other Autocratic Forms of Governemnt do not hesitate to exercize their Absolute Power. Of course, the 'Democratic Form' also has the same amount of Power at the top, but there is a 'Written Constitution' that 'controls' the 'excercize' of that 'Power'. The Democratic Form has Power at the Top and the Bottom has 'Freedom and Equality'. That allows for a Proper excercise of 'Political Power' at the Top and a 'Law Abiding' exercise of 'Feedom and Equality' at the Bottom. So, it seems like the 'Equities' and 'Tensions' are more balanced in the Democratic Forms. So, what happened to the Democratic Form? Why is there so much turmoil in a Democracy. From the very establishment of the Democratic form, the Top and the Bottom divided into 'Political Parties'. Then the Bottom started to have 'Haves and 'Have-Nots' and the 'Haves' strive to get to the 'Top' and that is getting to close to a 'Plutocracy'.

The word 'Service' in Politics refers 'to the People'; not the Political Party.

The word 'Service' in Politics refers 'to the People'; not the 'Political Party'. Most Political Parties have an 'Agenda' and that is usually 'designed' to 'benefit' the 'Party and the 'Party-Incumbent'. Belonging to a 'political Party' is not a 'real belonging'. Its 'Temporary Political Apparel' with adjacent benefits. Of course, the benefits are 'Politically related' to the 'Party' and sometimes to the 'Individual'. But, strangely; have you noticed how 'Normal' an 'Individual appears' when 'out of Office'. No longer encircled with the Politcal Aura of 'Self-Importance' and 'Political Power', 'He' or 'She' appers like a 'Normal Human Being'. A Human Being that is just 'One' of the 'Many' at the 'Bottom'. Even when you get together a 'bunch' of 'Out of Office' Holders for 'some Photo-Op', all in Suits, they all look so 'uninfluencial', as would a photo of 'all the Real Individuals' at the 'Bottom' of the 'Political Entity'. Eight Years of Service to an infinite number of 'Real Individuals' at the 'Bottom' is not without consequances. No longer 'Self important' and no longer a 'possesor of Political Power', the Individual must return to 'normality'. That is not an easy-trick. 'Serving' the 'People at the Bottom' should not be Problematic. If the Parties are both Democratic, why should there be a Political Problem? The Problem is probably Two-fold. Generally speaking, its the 'Power at the Top' and the 'Freedom and Equality' at the 'Bottom'. The 'Top of Power' is 'One' and is 'focal'; the 'Bottom' of 'Freedom and Equality' is 'Many' and is 'distributed'. That should work, but there are other influences involved; namely the 'Economy', its 'Corporate Fictions',or 'Corporate Persons' and 'Money'. That influence helps create and contributes to the 'Haves' and 'Have Nots'.

Politics is about 'Service'. The 'Highest Office' in the Land has 'Political Power', not the 'Individuals' in Office.

The 'Higest office' in the land has 'Political Power', not the 'Individuals' that 'serve' in the Office. Political Power 'arises' from the 'Institution', not the Individual. In a Democracy, the Individuals that 'Serve' in that capacity or all 'Free and Equal', as are all 'Human Beings' at the 'Bottom' of the 'Democratic 'Political Entity'. That applies to all 'Political Institutions', regardless of the 'different' Ideology. The 'Political Ideology' does not 'create' Freedom and Equality. But, the 'Political Ideology' either 'recognizes' or 'does not recognize' the 'Freedom and Equality' at the 'Bottom'. Freedom and Equality is a characteristic of the 'Human Condition'. Its the 'Human Condition' that establishes the Freedom and Equality of the Individual. But, the Politivcal Entity or Ideology determines whether it will 'recognize' or 'not recognize' the 'Freedom and Equality' of the Individual at the Bottom. All 'Leaders' are 'Human' and so are all Individuals at the bottom. In terms of an established Institution, there is 'no distinction' between the 'Individual' at the Top and the 'Many Individuals' at the Bottom. The 'Human Condition' is all the same, yet 'each' Individual is 'Unique'. The 'Political Ideology' is something entirely different. It determines how 'Political Power' will be 'exercized'. An Autocratic regime will 'Rule' the People at the Bottom; a Democratic Government 'Governs' the People at the Bottom. The important thing to remember is that its the 'Office' that has 'Institutional Power' and 'not' the Human Indivdual. The 'Human Condition' is equally 'Human'; each is the Same, yet each 'Individual' is 'Unique'. 'Political Ideologies' differ with respect to the 'Model' of the Ideology and the 'exercize' of 'Political Power'.

The Problematic of the One and the Many is still with us.

The Problematic of the One and the Many is still with us. It can only be resolved if the 'One' becomes a 'Real Governor' and the 'Many' becomes less influenced by 'Power' and 'Money'. Capitalism has become necessary because the Bottom involves a Great Multiplicity and each and every Individual at the Bottom is just as Free and Equal as the Individuals at the Top. How can it be otherwise? The Individuals at the Bottom are the same as the Individuals at the Top and in a Democracy, the Individuals at the Top comes from the 'Bottom' and are 'elected' by the Bottom. The Top is also a 'Human Being' but 'no' Human Being can be superior to any other Human Being. All Human Beings are Natural Creations hence they are all the Same. But, the Human Condition is fallible. In an Autocracy, the Human Being at the Top is not superior to the ones at the Bottom. If the Top would 'Govern' instead of 'Rule', that would change the 'Political Ideology' of the Entity. But, the 'Power at the Top' is 'intoxicating' whether 'Democratic', 'Autocratic', or Plutocratic. A 'Top' will always consider 'Itself', 'Himself', 'Herself' Superior. There seems to be a 'terrible mistake' or 'Mis-understanding' between a 'Political Ideology' and the 'Human Condition'. The distinction is Simple. A Political Ideology is an 'Institution', and a 'Human Being', or a 'Human Creation', regardless, Race, Color, or Creed, is a 'Result' of 'Human Nature' or, if you wish, 'God'. 'Civilizations' or 'The Many' become necessary because of the Multiplicity at the Bottom. The 'Old Kingdoms', at least had a purported connection with 'The Deity', hence, 'some element' of 'Control' from the 'Top'. It was said, the King had two Bodies, one 'Human' the other 'Divine'. That Institution is no longer viable and is 'dying away'. Present-day 'Political Autocracy' has no connection with anything Higher than Itself. 'Democracy' must rely on the 'Human condition' at the Bottom; and an 'appreciation for Political Knowledge' and 'Human Integrity'.
