This is a short history of evolution of governance, focused
on the American and Swiss democracies. Plato in his
dialogues argued that by investigating what is behind the idea of
democracy, we may find its true form and function. And thus,
by discovering its true form and function, we could know how
best democracy could become a well-functioning reality. By
such inquiry, the author tries to discover what was the vision
of American forefathers for the American democracy when the
American people were incorporated as one indivisible nation
under God defined by the United States Constitution in 1787.
Today, the clash of democracies and autocracies is being
played out in Ukraine as its bloodbath being watched daily
around the world. This must be stopped by every means
available and by every person who prefers democracy. The
pen, after all, was victorious against the most powerful
empire of its day. Why would it not work again in twenty-
first century's lightning speed of the enlightening Digital Age?
