Democracy is not perfect; but its a viable system for implementing its Principles.
Democracy is not perfect; but its a viable system for implementing its Principles. The fact that it has Three Branches of Government is already a 'different approach' to Governing; an approach that allows for the 'participation' of each of the Three Branches to function in their different capacities. Of course, the interaction between the Branches is not a perfect one; but its a 'means' which allows for the 'expression' of the 'will' of the 'Individual', or, stated differently, for the 'expression' of 'the Bottom', of Government, or, of the 'will of the People' in their 'condition of togetherness'. The Bottom, the People, 'legislates'; the Top, the Government, 'Governs'; and the 'sides' or the Third Branch, 'Adjudicates'. Its the best system of Government around; not Perfect, but then we live in a 'real World'. The system has many areas that need improvement. But, that is not a reason for discarding the system. To be sure its a reason to 'better it' or to try to 'perfect it'. But, the division into Three Branches further requires that the 'function' of each 'Branch' must remain 'separate'. A 'Separation of Powers' is necessary for the 'Structure' or 'Form' of Democracy to 'retain' its 'democratic nature', i.e., a Government "of the People", "by the People" and "for the People". No 'One Branch' can interfere with the 'Other Branch'. If the System is to remain 'viable', the System must 'respect' and be 'Bound' by the 'function' of the 'Other' Branches of the System. A Three Branch Government can only function by means of 'Law and Order'. Law and Order governs the Social, or, the Bottom, or 'the condition of togetherness'; Law and Order governs the function of the 'Executive Branch' by Constitutional interpretation. At this point, great care must be taken, because the Third Branch must decide, objectively, if possible, what is 'Law'and 'Order' in a Three Branch form of Governmental interaction. The problematic is that the members of the Third Branch already belong to different 'Political Parties', and the 'Social' is further organized into 'Federal' and 'States' groupings, or into a 'Republic' form of Government; so the question is what constitutes 'Objectivity' in Adjudication?
