Foundations are the basic agreements upon which an authority acts. It is suggested that global society is now capable of not only providing for every individual's needs, but also of protecting every individual's rights. A government or law whose foundation does not adapt to the ever-expanding society does not consist of the people, and it is instead merely a tradition of the past.

Human Needs

A government or law that does not maximize the equality of provisions of human needs does not act for the people, and it is instead a tyranny in disguise.

  • Food
  • Water
  • Shelter
  • Health Care
  • Education

Human Rights

In an intellectually advancing world, a government or law that does not continuously expand its definition of peoples' rights does not act by the people, and it is instead only an outdated modus operandi.

  • Unrestricted access to living needs
  • Absolute freedom to engage and dis-engage social contracts
