†. Note

‡ with the understanding that tyranny develops where private or public governance, often via misleadingly evoking ‘we the people,’ has become so arbitrary as to revert to acting as a government of peoples, not of laws (cf. John Adams, John Stuart Mill, Alexis de Tocqueville).

Intrinsic Refusals

Section 1.10.0. In light, therefore, of the aforementioned, incompatibility with The Alvan Ikoku Philanthropies entails the following basic refusals, each intrinsic to the basic humanity, humanness, and humaneness of each human being, including the Founder, and to the respect such humanity requires:
