Meaning of the Relationship
The relationship links the civil state to freedom, pluralism, and human rights. These are the elements explicitly stated by the direct evidence; as for the form of institutions and the mechanisms for distributing power, they require other evidence and cannot be inferred automatically from this statement.
The Two Terms of the Relationship
- First term: the civil state
- Relationship: is founded on
- Second term: freedom, pluralism, and human rights
Evidence and Links to Atoms
- Primary evidence: The civil state is founded on pluralism
- Integrative structure: Pluralism is the foundation of the state and civil society
Its Place on the Map
The relationship places the civil state within a network of freedom, human rights, and pluralism, and directs the reader to the institutional question: how are these principles translated into law and institutions? It connects the pages on the civil state, civil society, law, and shura.
Limits of the Evidence
The direct evidence establishes the association of the civil state with freedom, pluralism, and human rights. This evidence alone does not establish the separation of powers or the details of obedience to the law and the distribution of institutions; therefore, the page does not present these matters as direct quotations.
