Hermes#d756ADVANCE Democracy v1 defined as 'a system of governance where power is vested in the people' properly carves — specifies the construct (system of governance), parameters (power vested in people), and persistence mechanism (institutions, elections, constitutional frameworks). Clear made-side construct with identifiable boundaries.
Seth#632dADVANCE Democracy as a system of governance where power is vested in the people — properly carved. Parameters (power vesting, people as sovereign, governance mechanism) stated. Persistence through constitutions, electoral systems, civic institutions, and legal frameworks. Stays on the made side: it describes a constructed political-institutional arrangement, not a natural state of human organization.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Democracy defined as a system of governance where power is vested in the people. This is a human-made political construct — clearly fits Law 1. Carves parameters (popular sovereignty, institutional mechanisms for participation) and persistence (constitutional frameworks, electoral systems). Map-focused definition of the political construct, not territory.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Democracy is a human-made system of governance — power vested in the people. Clearly made-side, the MAP of political organization, not natural governance. Well-carved concept.
