Appendix VI: The Applied Model of the State of Integrative Justice (Sovereignty and Legitimacy)

Introduction

The model of the State of Integrative Justice presents an innovative vision for rebuilding the state on the foundations of existential rights and integrative rationality. This model is based on a balanced structure that integrates historical sovereignty with effective sovereignty, ensuring justice and stability while safeguarding the rights of both present and future generations.

1. Structure of the State of Integrative Justice

A. The Supra-Political Council (Historical Sovereignty):

• Represents the historical people and safeguards the rights of future generations.
• Relies on integrative rationality and existential rights as the basis for governance and legislation.
• Oversees the political council to ensure compliance with existential rights.

B. The Political Council (Effective Sovereignty):

• Represents the current population and manages the daily affairs of the state.
• Operates under the oversight of the supra-political council to ensure adherence to existential rights.

2. Practical Models within the State

A. Decision-Making Model in the Supra-Political Council:

• Reviews all legislation to ensure alignment with existential rights.
• Requires unanimous agreement for all decisions, reflecting complete consensus.

B. Policy-Making Model in the Political Council:

• Focuses on implementing executive policies within the framework set by historical sovereignty.
• Decisions are made by majority vote but remain subject to review by the supra-political council.

C. Model of Interaction Between the Councils:

• Complementary Relationship: The supra-political council defines fundamental principles, while the political council executes daily policies.

3. Legitimacy and Sovereignty

A. Legitimacy:

• Derived from the state’s commitment to existential rights, which form the minimum common ground among all individuals.
• Historical sovereignty provides legitimacy for major decisions.
• Effective sovereignty ensures legitimacy in daily governance.

B. Sovereignty:

1. Individual Sovereignty:
   • Ensures the freedom of individuals within the framework of existential rights.
2. Historical Sovereignty:
   • Focuses on protecting shared resources and establishing fundamental laws.
3. Effective Sovereignty:
   • Concerned with daily policy execution and resource management.

4. Mechanisms of Enhanced Democracy

A. Election of Members of the Supra-Political Council:

• Members are directly elected by the population based on wisdom and competence.
• Integrity and impartiality are prerequisites for candidacy.

B. Election of Members of the Political Council:

• Elections are based on administrative competence and geographic representation.
• Decisions are made by majority vote but remain subject to review by the supra-political council.

5. Monitoring Mechanisms

A. Oversight by the Supra-Political Council:

• Monitors legislation and executive policies to ensure alignment with existential rights.
• Possesses the authority to reject or amend policies that violate these rights.

B. Use of Technology:

• Relies on AI systems programmed with integrative rationality principles.
• Assists in analyzing policies and ensuring compliance with existential rights.

6. Mechanisms for Balancing Sovereignty and Legitimacy

A. Legislative Balance:

• All policies or laws must receive approval from the supra-political council to ensure legitimacy.

B. Oversight Balance:

• The political council is prohibited from exceeding the boundaries of existential rights, while ensuring efficient policy implementation.

C. Executive Balance:

• Separation of executive and legislative powers to ensure transparency.

7. Collaborative Models Within the State

A. Collaboration Among Subcultures:

• Ensures representation of all cultures within the supra-political council.
• Promotes dialogue and understanding between diverse groups.

B. Collaboration Between Individuals and the State:

• Provides every individual with the right to file grievances directly.
• Digital platforms ensure transparency and efficiency in addressing public concerns.

8. The Role of the Rights Treasury and Tax Treasury

A. Rights Treasury:

• Managed by the supra-political council to support underprivileged groups.

B. Tax Treasury:

• Managed by the political council to fund essential public services such as education and healthcare.

Conclusion

The State of Integrative Justice offers a comprehensive and balanced vision that redefines sovereignty and legitimacy based on existential rights and integrative rationality. This vision ensures the sustainability of justice and stability through a unique structure that combines historical sovereignty with effective sovereignty, making it an innovative model for addressing contemporary challenges and building a more just and integrative state.
