–“Curt: Can you explain a bit more about concurrency and commonality, and how this works at the federal level?”–
Smart Question.
And I’ll try to do it by explaining the historical relation between our present system and the one we had in England as England invented the modern rule of law state.
1. The President (Monarchy): Electoral College by State (=Aristocracy)
(Unfortunately, Of the four systems (a) monarchy and cabinet, (b) monarchy, prime minister, and cabinet (c) prime minister and cabinet, (d) president and cabinet, it turns out we have the worst model. With the optimum being (b)a monarchy prime minister and cabinet.)
2. The Senate: Governor Substitute by State (=Nobility)
The senate was necessary because of travel time and distance. The senators were substitutes for the state governments, producing a federation. Which we broke by direct election, thereby empowering the federal government instead of maintaining the federation of states. This was a tragedy as great as not preserving the monarchy.
3. The (Upper) House: Population by State (=Business(Property owners))
And we are missing ….
4. The Lower House: Families, Dependents (=Church)
… and we’re missing the lower house because we expanded the house rather than adding a lower house, which is how we got into this problem in the first place, making class conflict outside of government possible, instead of using government as a means of alleviating class conflict by trades.
So,
1. We must agree by the concurrency of states on the election of the president.
2. We must agree by the concurrency of states to pass the Senate.
3. We must agree by the concurrency of the population to pass the house.
4. Localities must agree by concurrency of the population to elect representatives.
5. And we must agree between the classes and regions by concurrency between the house, senate, and president.
6. The courts must demonstrate commonality in agreement in the resolution of disputes by the findings of the courts under the common law of tort (trespass), before we can codify prohibitions (laws) via legislation, which again must be determined by concurrency between the house, senate, and president.
So, in general, our class disputes take place in public and in the media, and in the house and senate between parties instead of in the house by the production of trades between classes – where such trades largely consist of demands for responsibility from the lower (unproductive) classes in exchange for redistribution from the upper (productive) classes – because that is the difference between classes: the capacity to bear productive responsibility on behalf of others.
As such our principle problem originated in the release of the requirement for property (running a farm or business) for participation in the house, instead of creating a lower house and maintaining the function of the church by continuing the use of the legislature as a market for the production of desirable commons between the classes.
Now try to learn that in civics. You won’t.
