In democratic government, the Top is One and hence abstract. Of course, the One
is also real and concrete, but s/he serves in an office by virtue of a Constitution
which grants abstract power to that office. The democratic bottom is Many, it is
Number. The Bottom does not have delegated power because it doesn't need it; it
has strength. As number, each and every person at the bottom is important and
must be included in any democratic formulation or equation. In a triadic
government, the top and the bottom are monitored by the Judicial Branch to
insure a real relation between the Top and the Bottom. Governing becomes a
continuous modulation of the Top with the Bottom. Of course, this presupposes
that the Judicial will be objective in its interpretation of the relation so as to
insure that issues such as Freedom and Equality will be established as in an
equation. No one is left out. The relation between the Top and the Bottom is
what needs to be worked out in Constitutional interpretive practices. Mere
verbal formulations will not suffice, especially in view of the impact of the
Linguistic Turn and the abstract nature of linguistic generalities that have too
much wiggle room. Instead, certain issues require a mathmatical approach to
proceedural rules that insures that issues such as Freedom and Equality will
have to be established by the government before any other Constitutional
issue is adjudicated. The Freedom and Equality of the individual can only be
weighed against the general welfare of the Country as a whole. Barring a
positive finding on that issue, each and every individual is free and equal.
     This approach throws a different light on the term "revolution", because
revolution by the Bottom becomes necessary to insure periodic changes in the
abstract formulations the Top uses to govern.
