Representative Republic Ideals: Firm Principles (Presentation Of One's Case)

For Representative Governance to work, the following ideals must be abided by.

1. People do not make the law. Instead People elect those citizens who are not involved in any conflict of interest to make the law on their direct behalf and/or matters which directly affect them. The law that they make must not be in violation of the state and federal Constitution and it must also not violate core Representative Republic Ideals.

2. People do not enforce and administer the law nor do they preside over their enforcement and administration. They instead are supposed to elect those citizens who are not involved in any conflict of interest to select those citizens who are not involved in any conflict of interest to enforce and administer the law on their direct behalf and/or over matters which directly affect them. The law that they make must not be in violation of the state and federal Constitution and it must not violate core Representative Republic Ideals.

3. People do not apply and interpret the law to cases of controversy. They instead are supposed to elect those citizens who are not involved in any conflict of interest to select those citizens who are not involved in any conflict of interest to in turn appoint those citizens who are not involved in any conflict of interest to apply and interpret the law to cases of controversy on their direct behalf and/or over matters which directly affect them.

In other words individual(s) have both the absolute right and sworn responsibility to present his/her own cases, provided they are above a certain age and are not incapable due to incapacitation or legitimate absence. Without this, Representative Governance does not exist. After all, the U.S. Constitution only guarantees the assistance of counsel and not the representation by an officer of the court who attorns the law. Moreover it guarantees this assistance of counsel in criminal cases only.
