It all starts with "We the People ..." Everything after that is negotiable. That's why we have a system of checks and balances where X = legislative, Y = executive, and Z (don't forget about Z) = judicial. An X factor can be formulated based upon the principle of triage - doing the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Sometimes; however, the needs of the many are outweighed by the needs of the few; or, the one. It all depends on how close to depriving that someone of their inalienable rights everyone else tries to go.
