But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.

Hamilton, The Federalist Papers

The forms of government constitute, by the exercise of control over the body politic, a structure of reality—the frameworks of which revealing modes of consciousness. The embodiments of the forms constituting the penultimate development of the Word—the divine emanation that furnishes to the visibles the power of visibility. The American form of government incorporating a Bicameral Congress that proposes from a corpus of competing interests—themselves mediated through state and local elections; an Executive Branch that operates to implement the legislation or else exercise veto over congress of the mind; and a Judiciary Branch that functions to reign populist impulse. The framework mimicking the tripartite psyche: the id, the ego and the superego. The American Experiment revealing at core an elaboration of the pursuit of Happiness.
