    No, it’s about the legitimization of law, the legitimization of use of power, checks and balances and unconditional human rights.

      All of those are just different ways of saying that it’s what you agree with. The law is legitimate based on what? Whether you agree with it. Which set of human rights are unconditional? The one’s you personally like. I don’t see any countries that respect the unconditional right of all humans to the earth’s commons - the collective inheritance of all mankind - but because you don’t care about that right, it doesn’t factor in.
