| Hanging a title on types of governments and then trying to pick one from another would abort any chance of coming up with something new that would be workable.
Who would make the standards for maintaining a substainable economy? and would those standards make to non-effect the two party system and/or liberal and conserviative objectives? In other words would those standards not be a form of dicatorship via the person or the parties that authored the "book of standards"? Needless to say we can see that Unions would want different standards then those of the Cooperation, and if you use "Voterism" (my new word for the working class) would lean more towards socialism, but if the government hired C.E.O.s to run the department of standards then we would lean towards capitolism.
If slavery was in fact outlawed then how can they force you to work x-number of hours for the IRS? We would be donating money to them out of free will offerings, not because of some mandatory law.
The interesting thing about Ameirca is that we have become a melting pot for a number of different political and social philosophys. The idea behind that is to use the best parts of each of those systems and to leave out the bad parts as much as possible. We try some of this and some of that, and slowly the better stuff sticks and the ideas that are poorly founded fade out. We cannot have that continued experimention from a wide assortment of concepts if we establish standards that become like stone Idols that cannot wink or sway.
Should the kids tell mom and pop how to run the household? Should workers that full power to tell the boss how to run his company? That would seem a little up-side-down. On the other hand we cannot have parents who abuse children or bosses who abuse workers. And so we came up with an in-between idea, you must do what the boss tells you to do if it is reasonable, safe, and not degrading, and common sense, or a good lawyer, would maintain that tricky balance.
We live also in a system of advocates. Which we sometimes miss-name as special interest groups of lobbyists. These advocates work to educate the courts, lawmakers, and the public about the concerns of each section of our population. Many of these concerns about human rights end up here for debate, but more importantly in Congress, etc. For that system to work we need for those listening to not have partitsan bonds to anyone one, they must be able to remain independant in order to hear everyone's opinion in a manner that is not pre-determined. Finding such people nowadays is like a woman seeking Mr. Right at the local nieghborhood bar.
So that is some of my thoughts as "background" review of topic.
