Government is an Institution of Power at the Top. The 'Many' People at the Bottom assign that Power'.

Government is a Political Institution of 'Power at the Top'. The 'Many' People at the 'Bottom of Government' assigns that Power, for a 'Period of Time', to the Top. Without the Bottom, the Top has no Power: in fact, without the Bottom of Government, the top would not even 'exist'. That's why it can be said; One 'Lone Individual' on an Island does not need an 'Institution' of Government. The 'ancient dilemma' of the 'One and the Many' cannot be resolved if 'One Individual' is as 'Equal' as the 'Many Individuals' at the Bottom. Hence, a 'Political Institution' becomes necessary. Here, enters the 'Divine Right of Kings' form of Government. Once that 'Divine Right' was rendered dis-functional, the 'Autocratic Form' of Government took over. Its basically the same type of Governing, except that instead of relying on 'Divine Principles', the Individual at the Top just said, " Do it My Way, or else". Its difficult to keep the 'Many' at the Bottom 'in-line', hence, Force, Cruelty, Punishment, all of which constitutes 'control' of all the People at the Bottom of Autocratic Government. In today's Democratic Government, Force, Cruelty, Divinity, does not work. Democracy is a 'Government of Laws'; the Bottom can be described as "the condition of togetherness". All 'Real' Human Beings live together, side by side; separated only by their 'Individual Uniqueness', and Internationally, by 'National Boundaries'. In Democracy, the 'Real Individual' at the Bottom 'votes' for the 'Representative' who is to 'serve' in 'The Office of Power' for a short 'Period of Time'. Without 'Office', the 'Real Individual' does not have 'Political Power'. The only 'Power' that exists in the World is 'Political Power'. Other than that, all Real Individuals, and, of course, that includes You and I, are the same: 'Politically Powerless'. Look closely at a Photo of 'Past Presidents'. The 'emanations of Power' are gone. But, don't get me wrong; 'Individuals' are 'Real'. Each and every one is 'Unique' and each and everyone is 'Free and Equal' in a Political system. Democracy works, but it requires 'stability'; that 'stability' begins with the 'Good Will' and 'Political acumen' of the Candidates for Political Office. Where are the Real Politicians?
