- It seeks to disengage the entanglement between authority and the people, siding with the idea of the people's responsibility for their decisions and their inherent ability to reform their reality and regulate the relationship among different societal forces, in pursuit of freedom and social stability.
- It is neither a divine nor religious legislation, but rather a process of gauging the people’s choices through continuous public consultation.
- It prevents the domination of a minority over the majority, while giving the minority a fair chance to become a majority capable of governing by correcting its course, improving its plans, and gaining support.
- It is a peaceful alternative to violence, enabling the shaping of public opinion, listening to differing views, expressing one's opinion, and possessing the mechanisms of political and social organization.
- It is the most advanced human form for organizing freedom, restraining authority, and warding off all forms of tyranny.
