This Unified approach defines Philosophy as both the society’s morality and the society’s method in-which to enable that philosophy, it then defines Politics as the way
in which the chosen philosophy would be enabled as governance of the people according to the established moral philosophy, and it then defines the mechanisms of
Economics as the way in which the government manages commerce in accordance with that moral philosophy. The three components are inexorably interlinked and
inseparable and must be viewed together to fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of the concepts and methods of the differing philosophies. *

This Unified Theory is intended to be a non-partisan perspective on the natural occurrence of Political Systems within the human race. The selected systems defined
through force or through a natural progression always provide some kind of result. It is up to the society to define what result they want and what kind of suffering some
portion of the population must endure to support the controlling political class and their desired goals. This work is to help the citizens of a country understand where
they have choices and where those choices will most likely lead the society. This is only a theory that is based on relative observance of history, if any portion of this
effort does not meet a specific instance of history it should be identified and integrated into the Unified Theory to ensure all historic examples of political systems are
considered and properly explained by this Theory.

This Theory identifies the framework of components which are required for a society to function regardless of the Political Implementation. This framework is based on
human interactions with the resulting systems supporting the population at some level. The components that are Internal in nature such as beliefs and skills, require an
environment for the human spirit to thrive through providentia (foresight/precaution) while the external components, as mechanisms, are required for the creation of
wealth through oportunitas (fitness/opporunity) while the combination of the four uniquely human concepts of risk, natural laws, markets and liberty either enhance or
detract from the evolution of the human spirit and the growth of individual wealth. Where a successful society achieve s a balance of both spirit and wealth.

for Internal Controls for Providentia for External Controls for Oportunitas

This Unified approach combines Philosophy, Politics and Economics into a framework that applies the unified perspective into four elements or “primary colors” of
human interaction, also called ideology. Each of these areas of ideology, Theologial Politics, Repubilican Politics, Democratic Politics and Socialistic Politics, has four
components of interaction that the ideology attempts to implement within the societal structure; they include attempts at controlling risk, implementing natural laws,
managing economic markets and providing liberty to manage the citizens of the nation. This ideology brought to the citizens through the political class, either forced
upon the population through violent revolution or through a democratic election, reflects the general “psyche” of the citizens as a choice through active/subversive
positive or negative education.

The Unified Theory defines the primary objective for a society is to perform two tasks; to first implement the mechanisms to manage providentia so that all citizens
benefit by being happily productive, secondly to manage oportunitas such that all citizens may have their individual needs met to live their lives to the fullest.

Where for society to manage providentia properly there is a need to control worldly risks, this controlling of risks is translated into REGULATORY LAWS, where the
society must also choose to define how the citizens will be held to Natural Laws is translated to the method in which the JUDICIAL SYSTEM functions. Both of these
functions of Government either enhance or detract from the Providentia of the human condition. The choices of regulations and legal processes affects the morale of a
society, and thus its ability to passively resist internal and external forces for change, both peaceful and violent.

Where for society to manage oportunitas properly there is a need to mange the markets that bring the goods to the citizens, this setting of boundaries is translated in
LEGISLATIVE LAWS, where the overall remaining functions of the society such as methods for managing conflict between factions and protecting the population from
external attack requires a solid CONSTITUTION. The choices of economic legislation and constitutional processes affects the cultural and physical infrastructure of a
society, and its ability to actively resist internal and external forces for change, both peaceful and violent.

The Reverence for meeting the needs of the citizens through open markets: While believing that one has the ability to manage their own personal needs
in an open market, there is still the need to ensure that all conflicts have the opportunity to resolve themselves independently or within a governing judicial
system. Thus, goods and services are produced based on their ability to survive in the open marketplace opening opportunities for any individual that might
have the time and money to discover or define a need that can survive and grow that citizens family and community.

The Reverence for seeking to define the Law: Believing that Human Laws can be transient, it is possible that humans may never discover the Natural Laws

developing a more operational civil environment that will have the ability to serve the “Common Good”.
