Constitutional Democracy needs to be 'clarified' and we need to 'Feel' its absence.

Constitutional Democracy needs to be 'clarified', or, at least, the 'term' needs to be continuously repeated by the 'Real People', until they can actually 'begin to feel' it's absence. Only the 'Real People' can do this; not the Legal Fictions. The Legal Fictions, or Corporations are vacuous, empty, abstract, linguistic generalizations, that exist only as 'Fictions', and then, only in the universe of 'Legal Discourse'; they do not have 'emotions' or 'Feelings'. Democracy is based on the Constitution and must be modeled in the 'legal form' of a 'Three Branch government'. The Bottom Legislates laws; the Top executes them; and the Middle interprets them. Notice that the Bottom, the People, legislate laws. The reason for that is that democracy is a form of Government where the Top has power to govern, but only because the 'Bottom' has elected the Representative of the Top. Democracy is a Government, ( I'm going to 'add' a 'little' to the Constitution; hoping that the Founding Fathers forgive me) "of the 'Real' People", "By the 'Real' People", and most, most, important, "for the 'Real' People", at the Bottom of Government. The Nation is a 'Political entity'; not an 'Economic system'. To be sure, it needs an economy, but the economy does not have the 'tools' or the 'structure' to 'Govern'. The Capitalistic economy 'cannot Govern'; it can produce more and more of the same, ( Profits) but cannot Govern. We must understand clearly, very clearly, that the 1% does not know 'how to govern'. They know 'how' to 'make Money'; and they have 'Money'; but that's all. Their interest of being on the 'Forbes List', must be their only interest. 'Greed' is a strange creature. God save us from greed. How sad. The Nation has the ability to be the greatest Nation in the World; and we allowed 'Capitalism' to 'seduce' Democracy. Its the peoples fault. We need to wake-up. We need to 'Feel' the 'absence of democracy' and 'really understand' that living in a Democracy is not about 'nickles and dimes', or 'greed', its about Freedom and Equality. But, the 'Top' also needs to play its 'democratic part'. If the Top is not going to do that; remember the First Amendment; "...the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances". 'Think' Democracy; 'Feel' Democracy: 'Do' Democracy.
