A republican representational democracy.

Chester:

Thinking and learning goes on in the school of life as long as we retain
awareness.  We cannot completely rely upon prior knowledge.  The limits of
one's schooling and your abilities as a pupil also must be considered when
attempting to comprehend what is of issue and importance.

We can never search or research too much.  Ignorance speaks for itself all
too readily.
