2) Ensure that all of it's subjects are equal in the eyes of the government.
3) Protect the free market from monopolies.
4) Provide those things which are necessary to sustain a prosperous existence to each and every citizen.
5) Represent the morals and welfare of the nation towards it's neighbors.
6) Ensure that a single entity will never obtain so much power that it limits the power of another.
7) Represent the will of the majority.

Suppose the will of the majority wants to take property from the rich or kill off the Jews, or bring back slavery.
