The importance of the People in a democracy.
Conceiving democracy as triadic allows the individual to see more clearly the importance of the Bottom. Without a Bottom one cannot have a triad. A triangle or triad reflects that the Bottom supports the Top. In government you cannot have a Top without a Bottom. The Bottom is essential to a Three Branch government and the Top wouldn't exist if there was no Bottom. People existed before governments existed. These issues can be perceived more clearly. It was the people who carved the structure of government. Once these relationships are perceived clearly, the individual can see the importance of the 'Peoples' in the crafting of government. Any individual can see these relations geometrically and this without having to take a 4 hour course in government at the university. In other words, an education is not required to see the importance of the Bottom, or the position of the People, in the governmental structure set forth in the Constitution. The triad simplifies the so-called dilemma of the One and the Many. Actually, there is no dilemma; only a real relation between the One at the Top and the Many at the Bottom. To be sure, the Top is conceived 'abstractly' while the Bottom is seen as real and constituted of each and every real individual, who is Free and Equal. Once each individual understands that s/he is the important aspect of government, s/he will understand that each individual in a 'condition of togetherness' can play a very powerful part in the act of governing. There is strength in numbers. That is the essence of democracy. Of course, government is important also, but only in relation to the duty it has to implement democracy. There are many individuals who become confused from reading the differently 'inclined' newspaper accounts of what is happening in government. Conceiving Three Branch government as a triad helps people determine whether the newspaper account is democratically correct. Its simple; democracy is "for the People"; its for the Bottom.
