Most of US Constitution is structured to impose that... first as a function of the systemic limits, putting some things "off limits" as fodder for the rough and tumble... second as a function of the ways in which power is divided, the divisions enabled in order to occupy the means, as it pits the competition over its exercise against itself, rather than against "the rest of us"... at least in theory... although currently subject of subversion. The Republican structure... adds another dimension and an additional layer to that complex plan of resistance... that adds the benefit of devolution of power to the lowest level... where it is assumed people are less likely to do stupid things to themselves... than they are to be subjected to stupid things by people farther away... My plan for the reintroduction of wolves, lions, and bears to Central Park... might find that still a functional obstacle... although it has not stopped the idiots in New York from imposing that set of risks on me... while also seeking to remove obvious means of self defense ? I would guess the same division exists in Canada, with views on the utility, or risk vs benefit, of firearms... depending on ones own proximity to polar bears outside of cages... In the Civil War... that meant fractures occurred at that level of division... Canada still (?)... my perception might be dated... has deeper divisions at that level than the U.S., although the greater the excess in challenging "systemic limits" here... the greater the tendency to trans-locate the divisions from the higher level in the political... to the lower level in the personal... That appears first in what you see occurring now... Chicago figuring out empowering idiots is a problem... while those who were part of creating the problem in Seattle, San Francisco, New York... decide they'd rather not experience what they've fostered... so, vote with their feet... and move to Idaho, Nevada, Arizona... or Texas... or Florida. The greater degrees of freedom people have... however that is expressed... the more constrained governments are in sustaining stupidity... as its impacts become "self critiquing"...
