There is 'No Reason' to have Government other than to 'Serve' the People at the Bottom.

Why do Governments exist? Why do we need Government? Of course, the reason is obvious. A 'Political Top' can operate as a 'hub' to 'help organize' the 'Multiplicity of Indiviudals' at the Bottom. There are always 'Many' Individuals at the 'so-called Bottom'. That why the Ancient Dillemna is phrsed as the 'One' and the 'Many'. The 'One' is always a source of control and organization and the Bottom is always the Many Individuals at the so-called 'Bottom'. Actually there is no such thing as a 'Bottom' just as there is no such thing as the 'Top' or the 'Political Top'. But, the 'Required' need for 'Order' of a 'Multiplicity of Individuals' at the Bottom should be obvious. Without 'Order and Organization' the Multiplicity would always be in a state of turmoil, conflict, and disorder. But, the term the One and the Many has hidden implications that Governments should be composed by One Individual at the Top and Many Individuals at the Bottom. The formulation favors a mode of control by 'One' or by some absolutely 'Superior Institution' at the 'Top' and the Bottom is the object of the Control by the Top. This manner of looking at the Dillemna of the One and the Many easily 'suggests' a Superior Top Ruling an Inferior' Bottom which leads to Autocracies, Plutocracies and Oligarchies. Hence, the need for the 'Democratic Form' of 'Constitutional Government'. Constitutional Democracy provides the 'hub' of authority necessary for Organizing a Bottom with Free and Equal Human Beings. All Human Beings, whether at the 'Top' or the 'Bottom' are 'Free and Equal'. Hence, Governemnt Institutions can be 'controlled' at the 'Top' and the 'Bottom'. Thats the purpose of Constitutional Government.
