The Bottom becomes 'Problematic' because of the 'Number' of 'Real Individuals' at the Bottom.

The Bottom becomes 'Problematic' because of the 'Number' of 'Real Individuals' at the Bottom. In and of itself, and not as a 'Form of Democratic Government', a Bottom of 'Many' is not neccessarilly a problem. Just 'Mix them' any way a 'non-political Top' wants. But, a 'Political Entity' has 'responsibilities' to the 'Bottom' and a 'Political Bottom' has responsibilities to the 'Top'. The Political Democratic 'Top' finds its responsibilities in the 'Constitution' and 'Constitutional Law', but the 'Political Bottom' does not have a source of written obligations. So how are the 'Relations' at the Bottom handled? Of course, the Bottom also has to abide by Law; 'Common Law' and 'Statuatury Law', and each 'Political Division' has its 'own Law'. But, there are also 'everyday obligations' in their 'Relations' to 'each Other'. No one lives in Isolation and some aspects of Human Behavior are codified into Law. But, there are some aspects of Human Behavior that are not covered by 'Law or the Constitution'. We generally call these Relations as the 'Good Will' towards each Other. The 'General Will' covers the 'Constitutional basis' of behavior, and the 'Individual Good Will' the bahavior of the 'Real Individuals' towards each Other. Of course, that can be a Problem. Why? Because there's Millions or Billions of each 'Other' and Good Will applies to 'Each'. Many Individuals have Good Will towards the Neighbor, but not necessarilly to 'all Others'. From this 'hiatus' or 'distance' arises 'Racial Descrimination', Professional Descrimination, Economic Discrimination, and Class descrimination. This distancing must be 'closed up' to allow for the expression of the 'Good Will' and the 'General Will'. To enable that to come about is complex and requires cooperation between the 'Top and the Bottom' as well as 'between' the 'Many Real Individuals' at the Bottom.
