Since laws are products emerging from the interests of law makers, then where lie the interests of common-men in the society ?

Interest? No, i believe that everyone lies according to reasons but it being an interest is an exaggerated thought. What do you mean by "common-men"(poor, middle-class)?

Your question assumes something that has not been proven, that the interests of the law-makers are somehow contrary to the interests of common people.

are we talking about the same people! that drafted up the..Ten Commandments.

Rousseau draws a distinction between what he calls "the general will" and any particular will of individuals or factions. According to him, a rational person will realise that his particular will should be in line with the general will because what is good for everybody should supposedly be also good for every individual and we discover what the general will is by voting. An analogy is everyone having to drive on the same side of the road. Rousseau is a little vague on the distinction between sovereign and government though. For him, the government just administrates the laws, while it is the sovereign people that express the general will.

Yep,he was a consummate Tribalist,or should I say Collectivist?

lol, I was honestly going to quote this song when I read the title,lol


anyhow, I agree with Dodo, there is a false assumption that 'government' and 'pople' are different

the government includes PEOPLE who work in it and the people who vote them into government and the people who hire them into government jobs

they are all 'the people',, cant really be divided honestly

imho

Yeah. People who are in the minority on a particular issue will complain when elected officials side with the people who are in the majority on the same issue.

It isn't that politicians don't represent the people. It is that politicians represent the majority of the people.

When the minority don't get their way, they make false accusations against the politicians, instead of acknowledging that the minority are the minority.

ID add

ideally, politicians should represent 'their' people
for a state senator that means people of their state, majority and minority
for a federal politician, that means people of the states, majority and minority


because sometimes what is the 'majority' view isn't the right or just or fair view,,,,,




realistically, politicians will represent their own interests as well as the interests of those who elect them to or keep them in office,,,

Since the majority elected those politicians, it is in the interest of the politicians to vote according to the desires of the majority.
The exception to that rule - in the USA at least - is that politicians should not side with the majority when the majority wants something that is unconstitutional.

yes, that's where politicians represent their own interests

though Im pretty sure they vow to represent 'the people of...'

the town or the city, or the state or united states, or whatever geographical area they are elected in,,,and not 'the people who voted for me'

Tell that to the members of the congressional black caucus.
They are supposed to represent all people of their districts, not just the black people of their districts.

not actually, in their role as us congresspersons they represent the people

as their SEPERATE role in the CBC is

""positively influencing the course of events pertinent to African-Americans and others of similar experience and situation", and "achieving greater equity for persons of African descent in the design and content of domestic and international programs and services"

despite the name it is a separate 'organization', not funded by American taxpayers in general but by contributions from supporters,,,

Most politicians represent two things. Thier own self preservation and whoever offers the highest bribe.

Complete BS unless you are in some other country, like England. Your analysis is sheeple control, an inherent trait of a democracy. Thank god our founders gave us a republic where the non-sheeple care less what majorities or minorities do, it don't apply to us.

First, just where is a philosophy? If you want philosophy you first need to understand definitions and clearly state something that can even half deemed to be philosophical.

You could start with the definition of law:



So if one where to look at these definitions, what conclusions would be drawn? So in both science and law we have a strict sense of law which can be best stated: an existing condition which is binding and immutable such as the laws of nature.

Then we have that secular religion called "the law" which poses to distort the true meaning, not only to misinform but to instill some sense of authority that does not exist. Therefore, lawmakers do not exist, there is but legislators that pass rules, regulation, statutes, codes and prohibitions according to the rule of man. They cannot be laws because they are not binding and can be circumvented. They are not immutable as they may change at a moments notice depending to that which assumes power and claims it their right.

Therein lie the interest of common-men, will they remain ignorant, choosing to ignore the truth or will they embrace the truth and become free. There is but one law, the law of the nature, the creator. A law that can be ignored but never muted. Those that ignore are bound to suffer it's consequences.

Only in the closed minds of those that choose to ignore the truth, ignorance. The only interest of legislators is contrary to the interest of men, period. Their entire interest is to use coercion and violence to instill their illusion of reality on another.



And it seems that some can be twice fooled in the same instant.

Ten commandments, nice concept but overstated. There really need be only one commandment, DO NOT STEAL. If you look closely you will find the other nine fit nicely within that package, i.e. do not take another's life, a theft of the highest order. Oh, by the way that commandment is not do not kill but do not murder.
