@demontage2000 @JohnMarkSays @TOOEdit Yes but those are not terms that can be institutionally enforced. Use instead:
1. Legal: Sovereignty and Reciprocity; Juridical Defense and Jury; Truth before face, Duty before self
2. Political: Markets before authority.
3. Aesthetic: Heroism, Excellence, Transcendence
