First chapter «Who oversees the progress of society?»

The question arises: who oversees the progress of society and warns of any deviations from the legislation of society when they occur? In a democracy, no one group can claim the right to do this on behalf of society as society is its own overseer. Any such claim by an individual or a group is dictatorial because democratically is the responsibility of the society as a whole. Democracy means all society overseeing its own progress. This can be achieved through the democratic instrument of government which results from the self-organization of society into Basic People’s Congresses, and from the government of the people through People’s Congresses and People’s Committees and then the General People’s Congress (the National Congress), the occasion when secretaries of the People’s Congresses and the People’s Committees convene. According to this theory, the people are the instrument of government, and as such, they are their own overseer. In this manner society itself becomes, the overseer of its legislation.
