A Democratic system is achieved when every citizen has representation in the parliament, minority rights are protected, executive branch has an overwhelming support of the people, and judicial system is directly elected by the people, and completely independent from other branches of government, and has jurisdiction over them.

The purpose of governance and law is the collective well being of humans. The aim of every political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of Man. All governments and their institutions should be established with a technocratic approach.   Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives, and the right for nomination based on meritocracy, and governments shall regulate election campaigns to ensure equality in representation and exposure of candidates. 

A truly democratic system is realized when every citizen has meaningful representation in the legislative body, minority rights are effectively protected, and the executive branch enjoys broad, sustained support from the people. In such a system, the judiciary is directly elected by the people, fully independent from the other branches of government, and empowered with legal authority over them to ensure accountability and the rule of law. The purpose of governance and legal institutions is the collective well-being of humanity, and the primary aim of any political association is the protection and preservation of the natural, inherent, and inalienable rights of every person.

In our community of Livonia, Michigan, democratic governance means that every resident has a real voice in the institutions that shape daily life: City Council, School Boards, local boards and commissions, and neighborhood bodies. A healthy local democracy doesn’t just count votes; it ensures that families, workers, renters, homeowners, immigrants, youth, seniors, and minority communities are genuinely represented in public decision-making. For Livonia, this means building systems where city leadership reflects the diversity of the people who live here, where the executive functions of local government are accountable to broad public support, and where our courts and legal processes are independent, transparent, and accessible to all.

All institutions of government should be organized on a technocratic and meritocratic basis, where knowledge, competence, and expertise guide decision-making. Every individual has the right to participate in the governance of their country, directly or through freely chosen representatives, and to seek public office on the basis of merit. To safeguard fairness and equal opportunity, governments must regulate electoral campaigns so that all candidates receive equitable access to representation, visibility, and public platforms, ensuring that political competition reflects ideas and qualifications rather than wealth, privilege, or entrenched power.

The purpose of governance in Livonia is the collective well-being of its residents: safe streets, fair policing, strong public schools, accessible parks and libraries, and an economy that allows people to live with dignity. Every board appointment, staff position, and public office should lean toward meritocracy and technocracy—choosing people based on competence, integrity, and expertise, not on personal connections or partisan favoritism. Every Livonian has the right to take part in public life, whether by running for office, serving on commissions, or participating in open meetings. Local campaign rules and practices should move toward equalizing access—so that a teacher, nurse, or small business owner has a fair chance to be heard alongside well-funded interests. In applying Article 6 here at home, Livonia becomes not just a place we live, but a community we actively co-govern.
