All Forms of Government can be evaluated from the perspective of a 'Triadic Form'.

All Governments can be evaluated from an 'Institutional Form' that is Triadic in nature. The Top of all Governments have Institutional Power; the Bottom of all Governments are all the 'Peoples' subject to 'being Governed'; the Relation between the Top and the Bottom should provide a 'Political Means' by which the Peoples being Governed are Represented. There is no other purpose for the existence of a Government. We return to our Thought Experiment, " one 'sole Individual' living on an Island, all by Him/Her-self, does not need an 'Institution of Government'. However, if there are thousands or Millions of People living along-side each Other; in a 'condition of togetherness', He/She will need Government. Since most Individuals are born within an 'established Nation or Government', they will automatically be part of the 'Bottom'. In a Democracy the 'Peoples' elect 'Representatives' who will be voted on, and who will ascend to the pinnacles of Political Power. In 'other forms' of Government, the Top always Governs the Bottom. The Bottom always has Millions of people living in a 'condition of togetherness'. The question, then becomes, "What are the duties or obligations that all Governments have to the People they Rule? Since Governments depend for their 'Existence' on the Peoples they Rule, Governments must Govern in some fair and equitable manner. That issue raises the question of what form should a Governing Political entity take? Of course, the Democratic Form is the 'most equitable' because it covers 'all the bases'; i.e. it covers the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial branches. In other words, it is Triadic in nature. It is not perfect, but its Functional. A Three branch Government can be carefully examined to determine which of the Three Branches is dis-functional. Once the dis-function is located, it must be 'corrected'. We must remember every Top has a Bottom and every Bottom has a Top. Nationhood and Government is a 'Polity of Power'. But, the Bottom is a 'condition of togetherness', where each and every 'Real Individual' lives in 'Equality and Freedom'. All Nations and Governments are Triadic in nature. They all have 'a People'. Their people live in 'Equality and Freedom'.
