Universal suffrage being held as "consent of the governed."

All the branches of the government are determined to increase their influence. "Checks and balances" is just shorhand for which branch gets to rule that particular issue.

The call for the top earners to rebel is risible! They are the least likely group to rebel. Generally wedded to the idea of "either we obey all the laws, or there is anarchy!"
