PROEM & POEM No. 64 - Individualism versus Constitutionalism / 3rd Reprise
Again, the illogical, fantastical and guileful oddly blend
Fondly portend, strongly contend, soon to violently ascend
Onward pretending, descending the subjugated to serfdom
Like mindless drones, prone to follow any fife and drum

Redundant though necessary it is paramount to reemphasize alternatively and lastly. When scrutinizing constitutions, governing documents, social contracts or charters, as well the near endless books and essays on such things, all are only as ethically noteworthy for implementation if unanimously consented at formation and duration of a society and government. The justification (or ethic) must be founded on nothing less than a fanatical resolve to respect and regard each and every individual’s Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent.
For what is the justification (as inquired in No.3) of any arrangement intimate, private, philosophical, spiritual, theological, public, social or political between two persons or more if not Consent expressed by each individual? To go further, what is the justification of any arrangement between two dozen, two hundred, two thousand, two million or more people if not Consent expressed initially and continuously by literally all individuals? Else without consent unanimous, quite meaningless are any lofty notions of liberty or freedom, social justice, even citizen or human rights whether numbering 3, 4, 10 or 30 (as discussed in No. 27 and 28).
