Constitutionally dealing with not only class differences but ethnic differences
The American Founders affirmed the
separation of powers thinking mainly of class differences in old
England. This was long before the ethnic differences which now clash
within both nations. But the constitutional separation of powers and
states was deep enough and wise enough to be able to adapt to this too.
The beauty of the constitutional
separation of powers and states is that it underlines real human
nature, which cannot for long be denied in the cultures we create.
The conservative biologically origin of human nature remains
kin-centered, gender-defined, ethnocentric, group-selecting, and as
nationalistic as it has always been. But the sociobiological way to
save conservatism is not mentioned by conservatives or by liberals,
other than as something politically incorrect and even evil.
The constitutional separation of powers
and states can affirm an ethnopluralism of ethnostates under the
constitution and accommodate the ethnic differences which
are now, most naturally, tearing us apart. Can we deal not only with
class differences but ethnic differences? If we cannot we are doomed
to increasing civil disturbances and eventually forced
separations. It's better to do it rationally and legally.
