I've been thinking.
I intend to share my thoughts.
This is simply my opinion. Dialectics are welcomed.

At this time, I believe that commerce is of greater weight than even law. Law concerns itself with things and people. The corner stone of English Common Law is property.

One must administrate their commercial affairs first before beginning their personal political journey.

In the history of Western civilization, those people with stuff (property) come together under trust to create a system for administering that trust in addition to protection of their stuff.

Or those with military might take the stuff of others and create a trust to protect their gains in addition to themselves.

In either case, assets and property (I maintain there is distinction between the terms) come first. A system for protecting it comes second.

A government isn't much without the assets of its people in support of it.
