Once established, democratic government will always remain democratic. The
reason for that is that a democracy of people who have tasted freedom and
equality are not going to give it up to someone who wants to govern as a
dictator. That individual would have to acquire power over the Top of
government as well as the bottom. It's not possible. But, we must exercise
caution in a growing democracy because the offices of triadic government
are also filled by people and they can be influenced. The key is that the office
holder must function within the value system of the Preamble of the
Constitution and not be influenced by outside matters. Constitutional values
will not encroach on the freedom and equality of the real individual.  
    But, we have to be carefull about "legal fictions" or artificial persons. They
have acquired an incomparable economic grasp and are establishing a value
system that has little regard for the human condition. Their sole function is
to make a profit, no pun intended, at any price.That is one of the outside
matters we have to be careful about. There are others.
   I said it is not possible for an individual to acquire power over the bottom.
It is not possible because the power of the Top is abstract and the strength of
the bottom is Number. The bottom is many, it is number. The Top can not
handle a revolution by the bottom. The Top would have to use force to quell
a legitimate rebellion and that would only cause the bottom to organize more.
If properly organized, Number cannot be quelled. Democracy cannot be
quashed.
