5.8. Conclusion
The institutions of Software Democracy are organized similarly to those of a classic bicameral parliamentary system.
However, there are several significant differences:
- These institutions do not actually exercise power. They are there to prepare, represent, implement, and control the choices of citizens.
- They are organized to limit the risk of collusion, corruption, or simply to limit circumstances where representatives could make choices influenced by reasons other than serving the state.
- The absence of a President of the Republic and the regular rotation of spokespersons for the Councils limit the risk of personalization of power.
- The work of the institutions is subject to the oversight of the Citizen Oversight Council, which has all the power to track corruption and conflicts of interest.
As we have said, the nation is at the heart of the functioning of Software Democracy. But the project, like the heart of the Constitution, is international. Let us see how Software Democracy could work at the international level.
