Two new possibilities

(Updated on April 6, 2025)


The possibility of a spiritual relative democratic republic


Summary (I am proud to announce that J.-J. Rousseau and (De) Montesquieu did not not propose any new model of constitution like I am doing.):

“…But if it is true that a great prince is a rare man, what will a great legislator be like? The first has only to follow the model that the other must propose…” J.-J. Rousseau dans “Du contrat social” livre 2, chapitre 7.


This one would be a variant for the moderated democracy (and less expensive to run), which would consider and respect the intellectual and moral hierarchy in all the people[1], permitting thus a better equilibrium between the different parts of the population (when all of it has to take a decision without any representative, what progress permits more), and a better blossoming of the family by the intermediate of a feminine institution (with the possibility of a woman as a president and a kind of government…) permitting more independence to women (what would allow them to develop some works without any masculine pressure, and then to prove what they are able to do) after having considered the importance to have some children before living with more independence (but this breeding period should be accompanied with some rights in order that both parts of the couple have the same amount of respect, like the right to vote for women…) ; what the increase of the number of the rather old women justifies currently.

Also the possibility of an aristocratic polyarchy  


Extracts

For a small state, monarchy (meaning, ruled by a single individual) can be more easily applicable than in a large state, because a monarch who is competent (and therefore wise) in different areas can more easily rule the different powers (an advantage being to have more coherence between the powers), because there are fewer different cases and therefore fewer laws, for example; thus it can remain rational considering the skills of a single man. Which implies that beyond a certain size a state may have to separate powers (an advantage being to minimize abuses while coherence becomes difficult to manage), which could give rise to what I call a "polyarchy" which could be ruled by several kings (accompanied by several queens), one for the judicial power, one for the legislative power and one for the executive power. It could also be possible to determine the biological age (health) after which a king should give way to a new king…
...Here I consider the fact that there is a basic natural order, for the organization between humans, predisposed in our genome and that this order would have been disrupted because of the consumption of certain products such as alcohol (religious tradition as with Christianity), tobacco, drugs (persistent traditions of certain countries that have become Muslim for example) and other products of the same kind. Also this consideration comes from the fact of personal observation that such an order can be observed with other living beings than humans and that this order can be disrupted by particular chemical products, but I still keep a hypothetical character to this human natural order. In addition we can note that if there is a basic human natural order, we are made to flourish and be happy in this order, thwarting instinct for too long and too strongly does not generally lead to happiness; so I consider this order for the human happiness...
... and women being led by a strong instinct, would organize themselves in a feminine way among themselves and in relation to men in a way that would be less problematic than with the consumption of the contraceptive pill which alters the presence of estrogen which partly defines feminine nature, or with the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, drugs or other products of the same type which disrupt feminine behavior (without forgetting diet, sport, sleep, etc.)...

Federation

(Updated on March 24, 2025)

  It is the union of different states, which follow some common rules under a common leadership, and keeping also a bit of independence in order to avoid better the possible neighboring corruption ; more the federation is composed of a high number of different states, more the cohesiveness has to be good in order to ensure an equivalent functioning in all the parts, especially if these states have a rather high population and area, because the listlessness in the changes is a lot more important, because some parts of the population resist in bulk to some other parts which like in the areas close to the border are more open to the foreign influences ; thus it is preferable at least that there are not any tension between the populations of the different states. On the top of that in order that it functions well it is better that the constitutions of the different states are applied at least to some governments which have the same basis, like with some republics (which if the heredity is good can be close to certain monarchies) ; if not certain important splits that it implies can engender some resistances which are the ones from the transition between a manner to govern and an other one ; this is important in order that the different parts can use the same laws according to some interpretations the closest possible.


  Republics (and some monarchies sufficiently concerned with good health) having to maintain a moral standard (so of good health) sufficient in order to orient well the decisions of the people, they must have a cohesiveness the strongest possible, thus their size is preferable when it is restricted, according to what they have to unite in order to resist in the case of an attack of a (some) state(s) less concerned by its (their) cohesion(s) for example ; but it is true that the limitation of the territory seems strange if we consider the current republics, and this because of some things which did correct this problem like transports and media, if there is an effort in order to minimize the possibility to spread vices too much. But it is more difficult to make cohabit some states like some monarchies which let easily vice spread and are thus aggressive, with some others which have to maintain virtue (so wisdom) hence a rather peaceful atmosphere (see “The Spirit of Laws”, book 9, by Montesquieu). But if a union has to be done between some too much different states and then too much independent ones, there is all the same the possibility to make turn the government between the different members (see J.J. Rousseau, “The Social Contract”, book 3, chapter 13).

The aristocratic republic

(Updated on March 10, 2025)

  In this case the too much corrupted people (possibly due to poor health: alcohol and others) chooses some representatives in order to take all the decisions and even the one of a leader for the executive power, but there is the risk of oligarchy, which arises from the bribery (still a possible health problem) of the representative aristocracy by favoring kinship and wealth, what sends then to monarchy ; this being quite simple when there is not any president and that the aristocrats hold the three powers, it is better therefore in this case that they have some rather short mandates in order that an exterior pressure be maintained on them. Thus this organization is really beneficial if the aristocrats try to defend the interests of the people, by allowing it also to be sufficiently alert intellectually (so in good health) in order to find again the ability to take some decisions. Otherwise in a democracy it is better to mind that some leaders do not push toward vice in order to be able to install an aristocracy, by aiming an oligarchy. But we must also consider that if with aristocrats, intelligence is established with good health and therefore a good heredity, power could evolve towards a more hereditary regime considering that this regime could be natural to humanity, therefore in accordance with its well-being, which from a moral point of view is positive.

The democratic republic with a house of representatives

(Updated on February 24, 2025)

  The people lets its power be organized according to the specificity of the decisions and thus gives up its direct legislative power to a part of a parliament ; thus those who are designated as representatives of the people’s power have to help it to stay moral at the maximum in order to assume the other decisions, what is implied by the social contract. These representatives in our current democracies form what can be called the House of Representatives, which with what corresponds to the Senate form the Parliament (or Congress) which is used for legislating ; for what is concerning the Senate it can be occupied by the nobility and the clergy, or by some elected persons chosen by the representatives of the people, or by some persons directly elected by the people under some special conditions for being eligible, if we refer to the 17th amendment to the U.S.(A.) constitution added in 1913 and refer to the article 1, section 3 of the same constitution.

The absolute democratic republic

(Updated on February 10, 2025)

  People compared with some other categories likes to emphasize the fact that it is composed of numerous persons, thus the intelligence formed by the totality of the people becomes a dominant factor of choice ; but the problem is that intelligence is not the same in all the people, according to what some choices prove logically to not be able to go always really in the sense of the interest of the country in the long term, and risk even according to the majority to let a bit too much sensuality be installed and then corruption to the detriment of the intellect ; and this even if the government is trying to push at the maximum the abilities of the citizens in order to assume their legislative activity, because the pressure thus formed can become too much constraining for some persons, who risk to want to install a less constraining communism (which can be facilitated by the consumption of alcohol or other substances by leaders, because their intelligence then descends, approaching that of the people) ; moreover relatively to abilities, in the common education an intellectual and moral hierarchy appears, it should be then a minimum respected in order to make the choices. About the choices they are used at first for electing some leaders by the intermediate of the universal suffrage, after they can be applied to the different powers ; but the people is generally not holding the three powers in a direct manner, it participates in the legislative one and it is especially in this case that it is important to do some shades in the ability to evaluate a law and its consequences ; otherwise the general will is generally not participating in the judicial power, nonetheless in a particular manner some persons of the people can be chosen in order to be jurors, and if there is a nobility and a clergy the people is considered by the origin of certain judges ; finally for the executive power the general will elects the leader corresponding to this power according to this person’s program, who chooses after some representatives, nonetheless some referendums can take place in order to consult the people ; otherwise the general will on the top of that can be divided according to the territory in order to choose more or less directly some representatives of the executive power who can be the leaders of some administrative divisions like towns and other subnational entities.

Republic

(Updated on January 27, 2025)

  Normally it rejects the choice of the leader relative to heredity and wealth, in order to make prevail the free will, so reflection, but which has to be moral in order to be really suitable (and must therefore go in the direction of good health which can revalue heredity and therefore the conservation of the potential for reflection), thus the universal suffrage becomes the tool for choosing ; also the importance of the morality makes that a real social contract is creating (between each one and the others) in order to maintain it as good as possible ; after the people and those who come from it participate particularly in the reflections of the state, what depends on how they are accompanied if we consider the distribution of the different powers (see “The Spirit of Laws”, book 11, by Montesquieu).

The constitutional monarchy

(Updated on January 13, 2025)

  At this stage there is an order which is installed between several dominant families which form the nobility and a possible clergy, thus the court is structuring in an organized manner and there are some places already definite in their functions, according to what the powers can be separated and shared more easily ; thus the principles are preserved and the decisions discussed ; generally thanks to vote and not to heredity the people also has its representatives though they can not try to make believe in a divine right being able to justified anything (which can be found if a noble is not competent). After a parliament can be organized in order to share out the legislative power ; thus the dialogues increase and intelligence can compete with heredity (which can nevertheless serve to preserve this intelligence).


This manner to lead could come differently that with the organization of the power after an invasion, if we imagine an organization by the grouping of families of which the proximity increases always, and which possess as well between them some links of family, but at the basic stage it is often violence which solves the problems, what lets presume some streaks with tyranny.
