The Top governs the 'condition of togetherness', at the Bottom; but both must live in 'legal and institutional' harmony.

The Bottom of Government is characterized as a 'condition of togetherness'. In a 'condition of togetherness', each individual is free and equal. Freedom and equality means each individual is free to do as s/he pleases, subject to the 'parameters of law and institutional structures'. The role of the Top of government is to provide the 'institutional' and 'legal structures' within which this freedom and equality can be 'expressed'. Equality means 'equal human beings'. The human condition is, the 'same' within the 'human kingdom', which separates us from the 'plant kingdom' and the 'animal kingdom'. Hence, Government governs the human kingdom by preserving the 'equal expression' of human life among a People. Government is only an Institution, and an Institution has a duty, and the duty is to 'preserve and protect', each and every Individual at the Bottom of government. Government cannot be blind to the needs of a 'Just Order'. The People cannot be blind to the 'Freedom and Equality of the Others' at the Bottom. We cannot establish a dichotomy between the Top and the Bottom. The reason we can't do that, is that the Top would always be 'inadequate' to the 'needs of a Just Order' and the Bottom would always be 'antagonistic' to the dictates of Government. The only solution is for the Top to 'understand' its proper function, and for the Bottom, to 'live freely and equally'. There is no other way. The Top and the Bottom must live in 'democratic harmony' instead of living in a constant state of 'democratic tension'. Let me explain. Democratic 'tension' is a 'misunderstanding' and 'misuse' of the freedom and equality, afforded everyone in a 'Democracy'. Life must be 'lived' democratically, and the Top must 'structure its institutions and laws', in such fashion, as to allow the 'free and equal expression' of life, 'within' each and every individual. The individual must 'live' in freedom and equality, and the biggest barrier to this realization, is not considering the 'neighbor' as 'equally free and equal' as 'you'. 'Seeing Others' as one sees oneself is a beginning; but then, Government also has a duty, to provide the Institutional Framework for the 'expression' of 'real democracy'. We cannot have 'unjust laws', or laws that are 'not enforced', at the Top, and 'social disorder' at the Bottom; and we cannot live in a 'constant state of tension'.
