DEFENSE AGAINST DISCRETIONARY RULE?
The only defense against discretionary rule, as always, is the natural law, the economic self interest of the independent cult of the court, the general self interest of the militia, and the naked self interest of the monarchy.
It’s that simple really.

—“The influence of the clergy, in an age of superstition, might be usefully employed to assert the rights of mankind; but so intimate is the connection between the throne and the altar, that the banner of the church has very seldom been seen on the side of the people”— Gibbon

THINKING:
Ok. So, attacking and falsifying my own possible desire for unnecessary monopoly, one can create a natural law nomocracy with a minority, majority, or homogenous population.
1) An Aristocratic Minority (a Caste) – Military, Judiciary, Sheriffs
2) A Republican Majority(a Polity) – Add Banking and Industry
3) A Democratic Monopoly (a People) – Add labor and svcs.
Let’s say you take a caste of people, like the spartans, and specialize in rule. If that rule is by natural law, and produces commons for both rulers and ruled, I think that’s a great arrangement. You might call this fascism, but you might actually have a population ‘hire’ you to rule them for their own good.
Let’s say you take a set of aristocratic families and their relations constituting either a sizable minority or a majority, and rule by natural law and produce commons that the nobility and the propertied classes choose to. You might all this oligarchy, but it certainly appears to be the most successful model on earth.
Let’s say you take a whole population set up an hereditary monarchy, a regional nobility, professional administration(private not public) and a market for the commons where all classes have virtual houses that can produce commons through trade.
I mean, you can implement Natural Law (Nomocracy) via Aristocracy, Republic, or Democracy, with minority, majority, totality (homogenous), by starting with a monarchy, adding a senate, adding houses for the classes with levels of enfranchisement depending upon whom you do and do not want to include.
So is that all I need to produce? And, why do we need a homogenous polity? I mean, arguably demand-for-enfranchisement is actually a bad thing?

The only ‘Rights’ you
possess are those that you can enforce.
All else is Privilege.

Transcendence is the objective, Agency is the capital and the offense, sovereignty is but a defensive method. So agency is the capital we want to accumulate that we want to achieve it by incremental expansion of sovereignty…. yeah…. OK. I got it now.

THE EVOLUTIONARY CYCLE OF THE CRITERIA FOR EQUALITY
(priceless)
by Bill Joslin
1) LAW: Equality before the law, formed in the wake of costly rebellion where arbitrary, inconsistent, discretionary application of law bred resentment, encouraged retaliation and ultimately rebellion.
2) OPPORTUNITY: Equality of opportunity – as the welfare state rise and regulation became the staple of the state, upper middle classes pled for the state from interfering in opportunity (via statute and regulation)
3) OUTCOME: Equality of outcome – romantics, upset about a rising gentry aligned themselves with the underclass causes to “shame” the capitalist gentry. Faced with the reality that no one is equal, they pointed at unequal outcomes as an example of hypocrisy and encourages the state to “level the playing Feild”.
Leveling the Feild requires the state to develope special rights for the disadvantaged. This results in arbitrary, inconsistent and discretionary application of law….
Wash rinse repeat.

THE EVOLUTION OF RESISTANCE MOVEMENTS
1) Equalitarianism > Sovereignty > Law and truth
2) Slavery > Freedom > Abrahamism and deception
3) Taxation > Liberty > Philosophy and idealism
4) Democracy > Marxism/Libertarianism/Neoconservatism > Pseudo-science, pseudo-rationalism, pseudo-moralism.
