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'.

The Term 'Hyper-Reality' is somewhat vague, but can it be applied to some 'leve'l achieved in the 'Social'.

The term 'Hyper-Reality' is somewhat vague, but can it be applied to 'some Level' achieved in the 'Social'. The 'Social' is 'Every Human Being' situated at the Bottom of the 'Governmental Structure'. Of course, the Top are the 'Governors' and the Bottom are the 'Governed'. There's 'nothing Hyper' about that 'Institutional Arrangement'; it is an 'abstraction' with 'Power' that 'exists' on that 'Institutional Level', but the 'Relation' that connects the 'Top and the Bottom', although Institutionalized, is 'Real'. The 'Human Condition' at the 'Bottom' referred too as the 'Social' exists as a 'Condition of Togetherness'. It has undergone many 'Scientific and Technological' Advances; some of which has 'modified' and 'Intensified' the 'Conditions, in which the 'Togetherness' is situated. Nevertheless, the 'Togetherness' still consists of 'Real Individuals. 'Real Individuality' cannot be 'modified' into a 'Hyper condition'. Certainly, the 'conditions' in which the Individual 'lives' can be changed and modified. But, that does not change the 'Human Condition'; only the environment. The 'Togetherness' in which the 'Human Condition' exists will always be the 'Bottom' of any 'Form' that Government assumes. That 'Human condition' cannot be 'tampered' with; only 'Governed'. Any changes in the Environment, does not 'effect' the 'Nature' of the 'Human Individuality'. It 'may effect' the 'Adjustment' to the 'Changed Environment', but not the 'Nature' of the 'Adjusting Individual'.

How does a Top that Governs a 'Democratic Bottom' Govern a 'Social' 'extending' into a 'Hyper-Reality'.

How does a Top that Governs a 'Democratic Bottom'; 'Govern' a 'Social' that is 'extending' into a 'sort' of 'Hyper-Reality'? Of course, the Bottom is always the Bottom and the 'Technological and Computational' accretions superimposed are 'not Human', but 'some' have become 'Social' and rapidly becoming 'Necessary'. The 'basic Idea' of 'Governing' a 'Democracy' is Governing 'Real, Living Human Beings'. There are no 'Artificial Human Beings' and Governing a 'Rapidly Growing Scientific Social' requires a Leader that is up to the Task. Governing is a 'Self-less Task', but it must be 'Intelligent' while protecting the 'Freedom and Equality' of the 'Real Individuals'; not necessarily protecting the 'Constitutional Persons' created by the 'Supreme Court'. While these 'Constitutional Persons' may be 'Socially necessary'; they are 'not' Real Human Beings. Even the 'Law' refers to them as 'Legal Fictions'. Consequently, the only Real 'Persons' are Human Beings. The 'Human Condition' is not a 'Hyper-Reality' and the necessity of Technological and Computational Progress 'purports' to make 'Life' more comfortable. Hence 'Social Reality' based on the 'Human Condition' and 'Freedom and Equality' is subject to some mode of 'Quantification', but how does 'One' 'Govern' a Hyper-Reality. There is still a 'Relation to the Bottom', that doesn't change, but the 'Social' at the 'Bottom' is being 'modified'.

Every 'Individual' included in the 'Many' is 'One' Living Human Being.

Every 'Individual' included in the 'Many' is 'One' Living Human Being. Hence, Politics, the 'Institutionalized Top', must ask itself; "How does an "Institutional Top 'Govern' the Many"? Of course, a 'Democracy' has a 'Democratic Government'; not a 'Kingdom', nor a 'Dictatorship'; and Never a 'Bottom' subject to 'Some Form' of 'Rule'. Instead, every 'Real Individual', situated at the Bottom in a Democracy, is 'entitled too', and is 'subject too,' a 'Form of Government' that acknowledges 'His' and 'Her' Humanity and is considered 'Equal and Free'. The end result is that a Democracy 'must Govern' the Bottom; it cannot Rule nor encumber the 'Freedom and Equality' of the Individual. Hence, the requirement that a Democratic Governing Structure must 'function' with 'Law and Order'. Of course, 'Law and Order' relates to the 'Multiplicity of Movements' in a 'Large Social' that 'regulates' the 'Interactions' 'between' and 'among' the 'Many People'. But, 'Today' that 'Large Social' has become 'Inflated' into a 'Technologized and Computerized Social' and the 'Interactions' 'between' and 'among' the 'Many People' has become a 'Hyper-Reality' of Sorts. The 'Nature' of the 'Social' or the 'Bottom' has changed. But, the 'Nature' of the 'Individual' is still a 'Living Human Being' and 'Freedom' and 'Equality' must continue to be 'protected' at 'all costs'. Consequently, its the 'Law and Order' that must 'change' to allow for their 'Expression'.

Democracy can give 'Rise' to 'Many' Political Problems.

Democracy can give 'Rise' to 'Many Political Problems'. The 'Solutions' to these 'Many Problems' is not 'Simple' nor 'Easy'. The difficulty of 'Many' of the 'Solutions' arises from the 'Fact' that the 'Many', at the Bottom, are 'Real and Human'. Of course, Many of these Problematics arises from that so-called 'Relation' between the 'Top and the Bottom'. Both the so-called 'Top' and the so-called 'Bottom' can be rendered 'Institutional'; but the 'Relation' remains 'Real'. Of course, in any 're-description' of a Top and a Bottom, 'both' can become 'Political Institutions', but the 'Relation' between the 'Two' always remains 'Real'. Despite the 'Reality of the Relation', it also becomes 'Institutionally Necessary' and that makes 'Governments Necessary'. Despite the 'Necessity and the Nature of the Institutions', the 'Many' at the 'Bottom' will always remain 'Real', simply because the 'Bottom' is a 'collection' of 'Human Beings'. The Bottom is a product of 'Human nature' and it cannot be 'Institutionalized' in the 'same manner' as a 'Top'. 'All' the 'Institutionalized Tops' face the same 'Problematic'; 'how' to 'Relate' to the 'Bottom'. Of course, that gives 'Rise' to the 'Different Forms' of Government; do they 'Rule' or 'Govern'? In a Democracy the 'People' at the Bottom Retain their 'Individuality' and their 'Humanity'; hence their 'Freedom and Equality'. In a 'Democracy' the 'Institutionalized Top' must Govern.

A 'Theory of Democracy', cannot be 'Quantified', hence, its not Scientific: it can be called 'Social' or 'Political'.

A Theory of Democracy, 'cannot be Quantified' hence; its not 'Scientific', nor Mathematical. Its 'closer' to an 'Art Form'. I say 'closer' because its 'not' an 'Art'; but, it can be called 'Social' or 'Political'. I venture to say that the 'Political' is a 'Reduction' of that 'Old Dilemma' of the 'One' and the 'Many' into a 'Form' of 'Government', or to the 'Manner' by which a 'Top' 'relates' to a 'Bottom'. That 'Relation' gives 'birth' to the 'Many Different Forms' of 'Governmental Institutions' that exist. The 'Many at the Bottom' need 'Government'. Left to their own, would reduce the 'Many' or the 'Bottom' to a very 'Chaotic situation'. The best arrangement for that 'Governmental Relation' is to Organize the 'Top' and the 'Bottom' into a 'Governmental Institution'. The Top has 'Institutional Power' and the Bottom has a Multiplicity of 'Living Human Beings' with 'Political Rights'. The Bottom must have 'Political Rights' because the 'Human Condition' existed before the 'Institutions'. The Individuals 'Freedom and Equality' is 'not a Gratuity' from an 'Institution'; its the Individuals 'Natural condition'. That 'Natural Condition' is only subject to 'Law and Order'; which allows the 'Many' Individuals to 'exist' and 'interact' in an 'Organized' and 'Orderly Fashion' within an 'established Institution'. Of course, there are many different 'Forms' of Government and each has its History and its Political Structure. But, the Democratic Form is the only one that is constituted; 'of the People'; 'by the People'; and 'For the People'.

'Democracy' is 'not Scientific', therefore, 'Politicians' should be 'Prepared' for a most 'Difficult Task'.

'Democracy' is 'not Scientific', therefore, 'Politicians' and 'Office Holders' should be Prepared for a 'Most Difficult task'. The Function of the Top with power is to 'Govern' and Governing a Democracy is not easy. It takes 'Intelligence and Judgement', to be situated at the 'Top' and to be 'Governing a Bottom' of Millions of 'Different Human Beings'; 'all' of which are 'Free and Equal'. The 'Top' has always had a 'certain stability 'viz. the 'Constitution'. Literally, the Constitution 'Constitutes us'. It establishes a 'Form of Governing'. But, 'Real Difficulties' arise when our Politicians begin to 'Really Understand' that 'Each and Every Real Individual' is 'Free and Equal'. A 'Unified Top of Institutional Power' and a 'Multiplicity' of 'Free and Equal' 'Human Beings' at the Bottom. Both, the Top; the Office Holders; the 'Politicians' must 'Govern' and the 'Bottom' must be 'Law abiding'. 'Each Level of the Governmental Structure' has a 'Role' to 'Play' in the 'Democratic Organization' of a 'Government'. What an Opportunity to Really Establish Democracy! The arrangement is not Scientific, its 'Political', its 'Institutional'; but the 'Multiplicity of Individuals' at the 'Bottom' are 'Real' and retain their 'Freedom and Equality. Anyone 'serving' in a 'Representative Capacity' must also be 'Law Abiding' and must 'Govern', not Rule. 'Rule is Rule', it is 'not Governing'. 'Governing is Power' and 'Power is Institutional'. Hence, Governing must be 'Intelligent' and it must follow Rules established in the 'Constitution'. So, how can someone not qualified hold Public office? Governing is not a Business; its a 'Selfless' and 'Intelligent manner' of 'Serving and Protecting' the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'Each and Every' 'Real Individual' at the Bottom. So where are the Standards and Qualifications that 'must exist' for 'Politicians and Office Holders'? 'Institutional Power' cannot be 'Unfettered' because the Bottom are "Real Living Human Beings" and 'No Human Being' is 'created' with 'Power' over 'Another'. Each One is Free and Equal.

An 'Institutionalized Democracy' may not be a 'Science', but its the most important 'Form' of Government.

An 'Institutionalized Democracy' may not be a 'Science', but its the most important 'Form' of Government. Every 'Governmental Polity' has its 'Form' and its 'Structure' and its 'Ideology'. The 'Form' usually 'Structures' an 'Arrangement' of the 'Top and the Bottom' of the 'Political Entity'. That 'structure' delineates the 'Forms of Power' at the 'Top' and the 'arrangements' of the 'Many Peoples' at the Bottom. All Political Entities have 'Power' at the 'Top' and the 'Many' at the 'Bottom'. But, in a Democracy, the 'People' are the 'Many' and there's Millions of them. Each One is an 'Individual' and each 'One' is 'Human' and each 'One' is 'Different'. In a Democracy, that 'Difference' can be expressed by 'each' Individual, so long as it is within the 'confines' of 'Law and Order'. The necessity for Law and Order is Obvious. There's 'Millions of Individuals' at the 'Bottom', and each one is 'Free and Equal'. Hence, the only prohibition is activity that violates 'Law and Order'. Now here is a 'Form of Government' that has 'Power at the Top', and a 'Multiplicity' of 'Free and Equal Individuals' at the 'Bottom'. How is the Top 'Utilized' and How is 'Power Instituted'? The Top has an 'Absolute Right' to 'Govern', but 'Govern' it must, it 'cannot Rule', and the 'Many' have an 'Absolute Right' to 'Remain Free and Equal', but within 'Law and Order'. That's the only 'Form' a 'Democracy' can assume and that 'Form' must be 'Protected' from 'abuse' by 'Unqualified Leaders'. So, where are the 'Standards and Qualifications' required for 'Politicians' and 'Non-Politicians to 'Serve' in that Capacity? Truly, 'Individuals in Political Office' are 'Servants' of 'The People'.

Why isn't there a 'Legal Cause of Action' for 'Negligence' or 'Incompetency' in Political Science?

Why isn't there a 'Legal Cause of Action' for 'Negligence' or 'Incompetency' in 'Political Science'? Of course, everyone Knows that 'Politics' is not a 'Science'. But then, neither is the 'Everyday Conduct' of the 'Human Condition'. Yet, the 'Human Individual' can be found Negligent with respect to His/her human Conduct. An 'Individual is Responsible' for his 'Conduct' and if He/she doesn't live up to a certain Level of 'Reasonable Conduct' and causes 'Injury', S/he can be sued for 'Negligence'. Of course, 'Personal Conduct' and 'Politics' is 'not the 'Same Thing', but 'Pretty Much' the Same thing'. There are standards for the 'Ordinary Life'. Why not 'Standards for Politics' and the 'Individuals' in 'Political Office'. It requires a certain 'Responsibility' to 'Live' and 'Exist' in a 'Democracy'. An 'Autocracy' also requires a certain manner of 'Living' and 'Existing'. But, it seems obvious that the 'Living and Existing' is not the 'Result' of a 'Freedom and Equality' acceptable to 'Autocratic Ideology'. But, lets return to the basic Issue. All 'Political Offices' should have 'Qualifications' and 'Standards'. Failing that, 'the People' can Initiate a cause of Action. Its Ridiculous to say the 'Senate and the House' can 'Impeach' and then say that 'only the Senate and the House' must 'Agree'. Hey, the 'Bottom' has already 'divided' into 'Political Parties'! They already caused a 'division'; add to that 'Party Loyalty'; and be 'assured' that there will never be a 'Meeting of the Minds'. It seems 'Logical' that once 'Incompetency' or 'Disloyalty' has been 'Identified', there should be a Remedy; 'not a Political Remedy' that allows the 'Incompetency and Disloyalty' to continue until the 'End of the Term of Office'. To continue Incompetency and Disloyalty until the expiration of the 'Term of Office' is 'Dangerous'.

Any Citizen; any Gender; can 'Campaign' for Political Office.

Any Citizen; any Gender; can 'Campaign' for 'Political Office'. That was not always the Case, or maybe we should say; Equality, for a Long Time, and even today, never seemed to 'live up' to its 'Democratic Meaning'. In a Democracy, it means the 'Entire Human Condition' is Equal. There are 'No distinctions' between 'Rich', Poor, Educated, Uneducated, Racial differences, sick, crippled, color of skin, large or small. A Human Being is a Human Being and every 'Human Citizen' is 'Equal and Free'. That 'Equality' and that 'Freedom' is both a 'Natural Equality' and a 'Natural Freedom' and an 'Institutional Equality' and an 'Institutional Freedom'. Everyone lives within 'Political Boundaries' and the 'Polity' describes the 'Nature' of the 'Governmental Institution' and its 'Powers'. Since the Crafting of the Constitution, that has always been the Case. Nevertheless, Democracy has 'Grown and Matured' as the 'Human Condition' has 'Changed' and 'Matured'. Today, we 'understand' 'many Things' we never 'understood before', or maybe we did, but 'never did anything about it'. Democracy has 'Matured', why can't the 'Human Condition' become more 'Mature'? Surely, if all Democracies are evolving to a 'better understanding' of 'Freedom and Equality'; so can the 'Human Condition'!. Certainly we are 'Human First' and then 'Institutional Nationalists'. But, 'Institution's' and 'Governmental Polities' are guided by 'Rules, Regulations, and Laws'. Its Democratic to allow 'anyone' to 'Run for Political office'. But, where are the Requirements, Rules, Regulations and laws for that Honorable Quest? Certainly the Highest and 'Most Powerful Offices' in the 'Land' requires comparable 'Moral Qualities' and 'Intellectual Ability'.

Why do Professionals have to go through 'Many years of Studies' to be Licensed and Politicians don't?

Why do 'Professionals' have to go through 'Many years of Study' to be Licensed and 'Politicians Don't'? 'Political Offices' are very important and it takes a 'dedicated Individual' to fill the Offices. Its not just a 'Job', its a 'Life-Style'. Politicians should be the 'Real Individuals' that 'Genuinely appreciate' their 'own Freedom and Equality' and hence, that of 'every Real Individual' at the 'Bottom' of the 'Political Entity'. Living and 'Occupying Political Office' in a 'Democracy' is no small Thing. It takes a 'Wide Perspective' and a 'Tremendous amount of knowledge', both Local and International to 'Fill' 'Political Office'. Of course, on the 'Moral Side' one can also add, 'some degree' of 'Humility'. There's no Room for 'Egotism' at that 'Level' of 'Functioning and Importance'. In a 'Democracy', the 'Most Important aspect' of 'Governing' is the 'Freedom and Equality' of the 'Real Individuals' at the 'Bottom of the Entity'. Leaders of 'Poor Moral Stature' and 'Limited Intellectual Capacity' to 'Govern' do not belong at that 'Level of Functioning'. At that 'Level' its no longer about 'Ego, its about 'Service' and 'that Service' is to the 'Bottom' of the 'Political Entity'. 'Political Office' is a 'Great achievement', and it should be 'Limited' to 'Morally and Intellectually' 'Qualified Real Individuals'.

It should be obvious that any 'Candidate', familiar with 'Persuasion', can 'Influence' the Bottom.

It should be obvious that any 'Candidate for Office', that is familiar with 'Persuasion', can 'Influence' the 'Bottom'. The Bottom exists as a 'Political Entity', or as a 'Political Unit'. Of course, the 'Nature' of the 'Unitary Character' of the Bottom is 'Political', not 'Actual'. However, the 'Political' is split into 'two Political Parties'. Although the 'Many', as Individuals, 'constitute the 'Bottom', the variety of 'Voters' exist as 'Small' or 'Large Groups' of 'Individuals' within the 'Many', or the Individuals constituting the 'Bottom'. The Bottom is 'not One Individual' nor is it the 'Whole Collection' of 'Individuals', or some kind of 'Unit' which can be persuaded 'as a Whole'. 'Each Individual' has a 'Mind', a Body, Emotions and 'Each' is 'different'. Of course, all 'Humans' are 'Equally Human' but, as 'Real Individuals', each has many Personal 'variables'. Each is different. A 'Political appeal' for a 'Vote' in a Democracy is not a 'Science'. There is no 'Political Science'. Its more of a 'Psychological factor' than a 'Scientific one'. The 'Many' at the 'Bottom' consists of 'Individuals' with 'Many Individual Preferences'. Therein lies a dilemma. The 'Many Individuals' at the 'Bottom' are so different that the Bottom is beyond approach and Many 'Candidates for Office' know that. They also know that it takes a 'Lot of Money' to 'organize a Campaign'. That's why the Rich, the affluent; the 'Owners' of the Corporate structures, jump in the Race. They have the Money; the Bottom has the 'needs', so they make 'Promises' that appeal to certain sectors of the 'Population' and do so, for the sole purpose of getting the Vote. Sometimes they even give them a small 'Advantage' so long as its 'Financed' by 'Tax Money'. The 'Bottom' can be Influenced, but it has 'as many Variables' as it has 'Real Individuals'.

The 'Importance of a Democracy' is that 'Every Real Individual' is 'Free and Equal'.

The 'Importance of a Democracy' is that 'Every Real Individual' is 'Free and Equal'. Every 'Political Entity' is a 'Political Institution' that has a Top and a Bottom. In our Democracy, the 'Form' of the 'Democracy' is set out in a 'Written constitution'. 'Other Forms' are also in writing and 'some are not'. A 'vital aspect' of 'any Government' are the 'distinctions' allowed between the 'Governors' and the 'Governed'; stated differently, the 'Top of the Institution' and the 'Bottom' of the Institution. That 'aspect of Government is what 'establishes' the different 'Types of Government': Democracy, Autocracy, Plutocracy, etc. The 'Top' of every Government has 'Political Power'; that is the 'Power' is 'Institutional', never 'Personal'. Only the 'Divine Right of Kings' had 'Personal Power'. The 'Bottom' of 'every Government' are the 'Many Peoples'. They are the 'Governed' and in a Democracy, the People have 'Institutional Freedom' and 'Institutional Equality'. Of course, the responsibilities of being 'Institutionally Free and Equal' are tremendous. Those Responsibilities are the 'aspects' of Institutional Government that allows 'Democratic Government' to function in keeping with its 'Descriptive Nature'. But, that 'Freedom and Equality' places 'tremendous pressures' on the 'Individuals' at the 'Bottom'. The 'Individuals'; Individually and as a Whole, are responsible for their 'Vote' and must bear the 'Consequences' of their 'choice'. No easy matter and the 'Politicians', the Candidates, the Rich, being aware of the Power of 'Persuasion', and of 'Advertising', and having 'Endless Monies', do not hesitate to use that 'Persuasion' and those Monies to get Elected. So that Freedom and Equality is not 'Free' and 'Immune' from those abuses. Its 'Easier' to 'convince' a 'Crowd' than an 'Individual'.

The 'Danger' in a 'Democracy' is that 'any Individual' can become its 'Leader'.

The 'Danger' in a 'Democracy' is that 'any Individual' can run for 'Election' and become its 'Leader'. We have to ask, What are the Qualifications for Running? Well, there are no Qualifications as regards 'Knowledge and Competency'. The only criteria we have is that the Top must 'Govern' the 'Bottom'; 'not' 'Rule the Bottom'. In other words, being a Democracy, the Top must "promote the General Welfare". It must also Respect and Defend the 'Freedom and Equality' of every 'Real Individual' at the 'Bottom'. So how does the 'Bottom' determine if this 'Candidate' is qualified to do that? Its not easy to determine. There may be a few things to look at, and to consider, but we never know the 'inner workings' of the 'Human Mind'. What should be obvious is that the Individual must understand that s/he must 'Govern', 'not Rule'; and s/he must reflect a certain 'Selflessness'. Selflessness and a desire to 'Serve the People' at the 'Bottom'. The most 'Powerful Office' at the 'Top' must Serve and Govern, and not Rule. It must 'Protect' the 'Freedom and Equality' of all Individuals. That raises a serious issue in a 'Corporate, Capitalistic Economy'. 'Business Corporations' generate lots of 'Profits'. They are 'designed' to do that; and only that; and being 'selfless' and practicing 'Freedom and Equality' at the Bottom will not 'motor the Economy'. 'That' is not 'very Profitable'. A Successful Businessman has a lot of trouble 'thinking Outside the Box'. So great care must be exercised by the 'Electorate' in 'choosing' a Leader who has been a 'Successful Businessman', a 'Billionaire', or a 'Millionaire'. 'Democratic Politics' and 'Governing' is an 'entirely different Game' from that of the 'Economy'.
