Legal and Institutional harmony is possible in a Democracy.

In a Democracy, both Legal and Institutional harmony becomes possible, when the Top of Government understands its function as a 'Government of Freedom and Equality'. That is the sole purpose of Democratic government; to govern equally. The Top is not necessarily required to be 'free' in the exercise of its political power. The Top is 'not free', to do as it pleases, its 'duty bound' to do its job. The Top, being duty bound to do its job must function according to Constitutional mandate. It must exercise its power in the form of establishing the Legal and Institutional underpinnings for a 'smooth functioning' among all the millions of People, as Individuals, and not as "factions", that constitute the governed. The Top has been given a Standard to follow; namely, the Constitution. But the Bottom also has a standard, one that is usually not recognized as a standard, and that is, to function or rather to 'live' in Freedom and Equality. Living in Freedom and Equality is basic to a Democracy. There are no superior Individuals in a Democracy; there are only 'free and equal' individuals. The Office holders at the Top, are duty bound to perform their Constitutional job. The Many People at the Bottom are bound to properly express their Freedom and Equality, by 'living' freely and equally with their neighbors. The Bottom 'lives' democratically; the Top guarantees it. The problematic arises when Individuals, whether at the Top or the Bottom, begin to sift their attention to the 'quantifiable standards' established by Capitalism, viz. profits, money, and possessions. There's nothing wrong with these standards, but they are not Democratic standards. They are economic standards; and Democracy is 'fueled' by Freedom and Equality, and not with profits, money and possessions. That would be a Plutocracy, or, an Aristocratic form of Government. We are neither. Plutocrats and Aristocrats are too busy 'pruning their egos', by staying up late, counting their money, and possessions; hence, they cannot be concerned with the Freedom and Equality of the human condition.
