three equal parts
make a whole

that is how it was designed
to function

balance is everything
one force checking the other

they knew…the danger of…
the ultimate force…

power

power is always hungry
power is insatiable

power is not possessed
it possesses whatever it enters

it must always be checked
…constrained
by other forces

anyone assigned to
one of the parts

must use their power
to constrain the power

in the other parts

they designed parts
not parties

parties cannot constrain
themselves

that is why we have parts
to constrain power

there really is no other reason
