  1. Cohesion must be maintained in the unit of a country, lest it falls easy prey to foreign takeovers.  The main threats to cohesion are censorship, greed, corruption, lack of transparency, sloppy and overly complicated laws of favoritism and mendacious propaganda, not only on government levels but within corporations, banking and legacy media.  To avoid the unproductive and wasteful setbacks of cyclic revolutions triggered by oppression and exploitation of the common people, the people must have access to block all proposed new laws and to suspend and remove old laws which turned out harmful to the general trust in fairness by majority vote.  This access must be maintained during peace and war to a degree which always balances out the lawmaking of the political body. This is meant to ensure that the tremendous powers of lawmaking is never abused for biased gain or for anything other than to keep the playing field even. The mutual respect necessary for a prosperous, balanced nation to remain healthy takes 3 to 4 generations to learn, but can be broken in less than 4 years as we’ve recently seen. The deluded arrogance necessary for a government to become hostile towards its own population must have the consequence that all the politicians complicit in such overreach are permanently banned from government and public service for the rest of their days. Salaries and benefits for our representatives must be given by laws and these laws may not be changed without the approval of the people by a majority vote with at least 70% participation.
