Science Of The Immortals
THE FOUR PILLARS OF 'CIVILISED SOCIETY'
The "legitimacy" of a government - or for that matter, even The State itself can be "determined" - by its "success" or "failure" - to honour the Social Contract - between those who Rule and those who are the Governed. This is not just a "political principle" - but one of Cosmic "significance" - since 'The Cosmoi' - is a "Hierarchy" and it is "sustained" in part - by observance of the "Principles of Order" and "Justice." With respects to the art and science of government - this finds expression in the concept of a Social Contract between the Ruler and its Peoples.
The Social Contract is multi-faceted - since it must be "represented" - by means of a correspondence - in all aspects of Human Existence - in this case the Peoples of a Nation.
How is this expression of the Social Contract "principally" manifested visibly - in the life of a Nation? It is through the "Provision" by those in Power - abstractly and concretely - provision of protection of the Peoples - and so considered externally, there is the provision of safety from harm - by "external forces." This can be regarded as part of the Social Contract - and so - a legitimate Ruler must be able to provide for its Peoples - safety against "external threat."
Within The State - the Ruler has the obligation of the provision of what is known as the "Four Pillars of Civilised Society."
"FOUR PILLARS"
1. THE RIGHT OF ACCESS TO LAW AND LEGAL ASSISTANCE
This is an expression - in the most practical way possible - that the Law of the Land is an expression of Justice.
2. THE RIGHT OF ACCESS TO SUFFICIENT CLEAN AND WHOLESOME FOOD AND WATER
This is an expression - that the Ruler - has the capacity and the worthiness to serve its People.
3. THE RIGHT TO SHELTER IN THE FORM OF HOUSING AND/OR OTHER FORMS OF ACCOMMODATION
This is an expression that there is "Order" - in The State - for without the provision of shelter for all its People - how can a State be regarded as "ordered" - how can individuals pursue their individual pursuits - an expression of why they are here - without the ability to secure - within their own "Kingdoms" / "Queendoms" - namely their homes - that which they have created - earned - have by way of legitimate right - the home for all - is an expression that all is well in the land.
4. THE RIGHT TO HEALTHCARE AND ACCESS TO THE MEANS TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LIFE
A sickly People will be overun soon anyway? - Therefore, what responsible Ruler - would not provide for the Health of his or her People?
These are the "Four Pillars of a Civilised Society" - without which there is no "civilization" - and there is no right to Rule a People.
