4. The Structure of Authority: What is the manner in which that authority is subsequently organ- ized? One possibility is for power to be concentrated at a single focal point. Alternatively, it can be sub- divided into powers that are then diffused. Either the introduction of checks and balances may be sought, or removed. 5. The Magnitude of the State and Its External Relations: This refers to both the area the state covers and the population it con- tains—and the connected problem of relations between separate states. How large should the unit of gov- ernment be? What is the optimum size for a state? How are inde- pendent states related? INQUIRIES ARE WELCOME For more information contact: Maureen E.

A five-part Ieaming series for government and military personnel. This is a proposal by Abacus, Inc., a woman-owned small business to produce this learning program for the government. People who understand their ideology can defend it philosoph- ically. How can people have the will to defend a way of life militarily if they don’t defend it philosophically? We, at Abacus. produce learning programs on the structure of demo- cratic society. We use these pro- grams in our own storefront class- room. We want to contract with the government to produce ideological training programs in print for govern- ment and military personnel. We have blocked out a series of five learning programs on the five main issues of political science. This is very important because the five main issues of political science clearly establish the moral impera- tive of having a democratic republic over a totalitarian dictatorship. We believe that because we are a grass- roots coalition of freelance artists and writers, we are capable of communicating this to people from any ethnic, economic or cultural background. The series can be produced for the government for It will cover the following: 1. The Coverage of Citizenship: Because we are associated within the state, we must stand in some kind of relation to one another. What is that to be? Should all of us be placed on an equal footing or not? This first issue is a choice between equality and inequality. 2. The Functions of the State: Originating for mutual protection, the state has traditionally widened its sphere of action. ls there a limit to what the state is justified in undertaking? If a limit appears necessary, where should it be set? 3. The Source of Authority: If the distribution of power within the state is visualized as a pyramid, the government can be likened to its apex, and the remainder of the people to the base. Authority can then be imagined either to stem from the base and travel up to the apex or to originate in the apex and flow down to the base. Under the first view, the government is controlled by, and is responsible to, the people. Under the second, the people are subjects to those who govern, and are duty—bound to obey their com- mands. At issue here is the choice between freedom and dictatorship. Show less
